Some days are just too full! But they are still fun (sometimes). This was one of those fun ones.
Since it was supposed to be over 90 today (and it did get up to about 96) we decided to get up at 6am to get school done early so we could go to the river. So we did it.
the water was really low today
Unfortunately, we were at the river a little early. It was still pretty chilly and breezy.

But it started to get warmer and more crowded just about the time we were leaving. We are looking forward to more sunny days to spend on the beach.
Today is also opening day of Prince Caspian! That's why we couldn't stay any longer at the beach. Our homeschool group went to see it this afternoon. We sort of invaded the theater. But it was fun to see everyone again and the theater had Prince Caspian themed activities to do while we waited.

The kids have been so excited and they loved the movie! I highly recommend it. If you haven't read the book, or it's been a long time, I suggest you go see the movie and then read it. It is a wonderful story full of powerful spiritual lessons.
Following the movie, Chris, Zack and Andy left for the Mountain Man Retreat (our south end district's men's retreat).
Will and I, full of popcorn and soda pop went to pick up something for supper and headed home. The weather was still too nice to be indoors, so we played a couple of lively games of croquet.
Afterwards we came in to play a few games of Buzz Jr. while the pizza cooked. We enjoyed our fine supper out on the deck and came in to watch a movie before retiring.

All in all, it was a very good day!

Wow! it looks like you guys had a very busy day! I'm glad you liked the movie and were able to enjoy such nice weather.

p.s. Who won croquet?
That looks like such a fun day! You're right, really busy, but wow, all great things to do! Like Theresa said, I was wondering who won the game? :)
Sorry. Both games were actually a draw. Will and I both won a game a piece in croquet and on Buzz Jr we also tied for the highet points ever! Will was really excited! And so was I. :o)
