Rock throwing fun!

Val, TJ and Cooper came to our house to visit today. We were originally planning on going to "The Hollows" (a Forest Preserve near our home) to have a picnic and then let the boys throw rocks in the water. There's just something about boys, rocks and water that go together! However, the weather was rainy in the late morning so we had a picnic on our livingroom floor, and then when it cleared up, we drove to the Hollows and threw rocks in the lake. We had a great time, besides the biting flies. (Those nasty little critters picked on Val and I.) Over the years, our boys have significantly helped raise the level of the lake by adding to the number of rocks on the bottom. They love it! Give them rocks and water, and they're entertained for hours!
