Tyler State Park

I took the day off on Thursday to take advantage of the weather and travel to Tyler State Park with the family and the Milettes. We picnicked, sailed, and hiked around the lake.

We started off eating at the beach, feeding ourselves and some ducks.

After that we took the kids out in canoes. For many of them it was their first time.

Once we were confident that we weren't going to tip those things over, I gave Gwen a big splash and started  a canoe battle :)

After the canoes we hiked around the lake; collecting, observing, and climbing over everything.

A few pictures turned out better in black and white, but it is always the colors that I remember the most after visiting the park.
