Family Saturday

 

We had a very nice day yesterday.  We loaded up our van and took a drive in the New Jersey countryside.  It was a bit stormy yesterday but not uncomfortable.  I am posting some pictures!

  This is a pretty little lake we drove around.

          Complete with a pretty chapel.

         And my sweet posing boy.  This is his "smiling" face.

  These fishermen were pulling up to the dock by the chapel.

 A beautiful front porch on a cute home.

  This little building houses the rest rooms for some fancy mansion that sits behind this building and on the hill.

 A beautiful stream but kinda brown with mud from all the rain we've had lately.

  Looking at pretty houses across another lake.  This lake had beautiful lily pads with white flowers in full bloom on each pad.  I wanted to pluck a flower but they were all just beyond my reach.

 Mr. Frog using his God given camouflage!

 The spillway over the lily pad lake.

  At the bottom of the spillway were several types of fish that had gone overboard with the heavy rains, stuck in shallow puddles.  My manly men felt sorry for the fish and caught several.  Another helpful stranger brought down a bucket and they were catching the fish with their hands and stuffing them into the bucket.  The helpful stranger with the bucket left before we found out if he returned the fish to the lake or took them home in his bucket???

  This last picture was where we got a good laugh for the day.  We are driving down a dirt road to get down to look at the Delaware river. (( just beyond the treeline, on the left side of this picture.))  Daddy had just commented that all the farmers' field corn we'd seen that day was doing very well and looked good and healthy.   #2 son looks over at this field and says "Wow, that sure is a BIG garden!"
