Picnic

We took advantage of yesterday's beautiful weather by going on a little picnic as a family.  We picked up nuggets for the kids and Amanda I both had cuban sandwiches.  Everyone enjoyed their meal as we sat by the lake at Bond Park.  We then had a nice walk on the greenway.  The highlight of the walk was seeing a tiny snake.

Lily is getting better with reading.  She noticed that someone was fishing almost on top of a sign that read "No Fishing."  She really wanted to talk to the guy about it, but she didn't.  The spirit of the sign is that you shouldn't fish near the boat launch for safety reasons, but since the boat launch was closed I guess it wasn't too big of a deal.  However, the pragmatist in Lily is great.

Speaking of which, she got dinged a little bit on a spelling assignment for being too literal.  There were a series of sentences that she had to copy, but the last two were imperative sentences like, "Write a sentence that is a question."  She dutifully wrote, "Write a sentence that is a question."
