Lake Wheeler

Ben was out of town for a full week and I needed a break from the usual dinner time craziness at home so when the girls got home from school we headed to Lake Wheeler for a picnic. The kids had fun throwing rocks in the water and coming up with crazy games on the playground. I just loved being outside and watching them have fun (and not having to prepare, eat, and clean up dinner amidst total chaos).

A visit to Lake Wheeler with the boys one day, some pictures of the beautiful camellias blooming in our front yard, and a fun evening walk at Crowder Park with all the kids.

Lake Wheeler

Lake Wheeler is the closest lake to our house. The girls cross over it every day to get to school but we had never actually visited the lake. I took the boys to Lake Wheeler Park one afternoon to check out the fall colors. They had fun playing on the playground, throwing rocks in the water and soaking themselves in the lake.
