A beautiful day in Kansas

Today was a beautiful day here. The sun was out. The birds were chirping!! My kids were behaving....ok... we all know that isn't true but you get the point. Beautiful day!! I am so happy spring is finally getting here. I am sick of the snow and ice and bitter cold!! Enough!!!

As we decide to head out and enjoy the weather I decide to grab my camera so I can show you what all we got to see today!

We decided to take a short drive to our local lake/park. It is one of my favorite places to go. It has a little bit of everything so is good for a number of things.



Not too shabby, right? Here, let me pull up a bit...give you a better look...



That's what I'm talking about!! Stunning day. We decide to get out and see what the rest of the park visitors are up to on this lovely day. One man decided he would get one last nap in before his work week began.



He must have been very tired because he didn't hear any of the commotion coming from down the hill. If it weren't for my amazing lady I would have had no idea what these people were doing...but she learned all about it on Beauty and the Geek. Larping!! (A live action role-playing game (LARP) is a form of role-playing game where the participants physically act out some or all of their characters' actions. The first LARPs were run in the late 1970s, inspired by role-playing games and genre fiction. The activity gained international popularity during the 1980s. LARP groups have highly varied approaches to rules, costume, degree of physical acting out, focus of character activity, and genre. LARPs range in size from small private events lasting a few hours to huge public events with thousands of players lasting for several days.) They take this stuff very serious...as you can see!!






Not to worry....not everyone enjoying the weather in the park today was a nut job...there were some people looking for dinner..

I don't think they ever caught anything but it looked like a nice relaxing time..unlike the Larping.

We went to check out some other area's of the park....they have stables....can you believe it...all in one park...larping, napping, fishing, and stables!! I made the coolest new friend!!

I was totally bonding with her....until my Girl found the sign on her pen that said "sick horses only". Just my luck!!

So what did we wind up doing in this full service park on such a wonderful day....



We layed back, watched the clouds roll by...and looked for shapes in them...like larpers...or fish....or sick horses....
