Some mothers and kids got together for a picnic at a park by the local lake. Afterwards we wanted to swim at the beach which we thought would be a sinch to get to, but since the DNR closed the main gate due to rising water from the rain, we had to walk instead of drive.
We started on a trail close to our picnic spot thinking it would be a great short cut.
The woods got thicker, the path was disappearing and the kids were sure poison ivy was attacking them.
So we hiked up to the main gate and took the road down glad to know it would get us to the beach.
A good 1/2 mile, all downhill, we were there!
Soaking in the last days of summer, it proved to be fun in the sun for us 5 moms and 18 kids. Yes 18 kids!

In spite of the hiking adventures, it looks like everyone had a great time!! There's nothing like the beach!!
Looks like you have a fun group of girls to hang out with!
Haha! Those shortcuts don't seem to work out when you have a lot of kids. :) It looks like things worked out. The water must have felt even better after all that hiking.
Wow, you guys are brave! Looks like so much fun...I love the summer!
Bet that felt great with the heat outside!
Wow you guys are brave. I'm glad you finally made it there after the long hike. It looks like a lot of fun.
I like the pic of Chloe's deformed body lying on the beach. Those swim suits crack me up!
I love the beach! I'm not sure I would have braved the hike though. It could be my age!
