Lake Solano

Erik ended up having Monday off so we decided it was Family Fun-day. And it was. We took a short drive to Lake Solano and did some exploring, playing, had a picnic, fed the ducks, napped, watched the animals and relaxed. We drove through here once before a couple years ago and decided it was time to really check it out. It was nice and, despite the heat, we had a fun time.

There were peacock's everywhere. This one greeted us as we chose our table. And he wasn't moving so we sat by the water instead. He was gorgeous. Alex was set having lunch, playing, talking, showing us his feet and silly faces. I always wish I had my camera when he makes his faces. He is a total cheese ball.

Max was trying to get a little squirrel's attention.

This one. He snuck up on us a few times.

The heat did not slow Max down at all. He's really into racing and being "first" at everything (which is great when it's time to change diapers or get dressed, he's always willing to go before Alex). He raced Erik several times.

Here's our little spot. It's not a great photo but it shows how cute it was. There are tables scattered all over the place. It looks like the hill drops off to the water but it doesn't. The kids would roll gently into the water if they fell. (teehee). We watched people boat through (no motors though) and saw geese and ducks, a fly fisherman and even saw baby peacock's nearby.
They were filling a little child friendly fishing hole too. There is a campsite there that we drove though as well. Seemed pretty nice, even nicer that it was only about 15 minutes from home. We will go back for sure!
