Gnats!

Yesterday was a gorgeous 65 degrees and sunny! So, Paul wanted to take the opportunity to go fishing! I decided that while he was fishing, I would take a nice stroll around the resevoir with Sophie. There are great walking trails and it's just a great place to get some physical fitness in.

So, as I started walking through the forested area... I couldn't help but notice the SWARMS of big black gnats everywhere! Then I noticed them settling on the stroller, and I checked to see Sophie and they we landing on her tray where I had put Cheerios for her to enjoy! WHAT WAS I TO DO??

So, I did the only logical thing I could think of. I started running! Dodging every swarm of gnats I could see myself approaching! Waving my arm in front of me to swat them away! I looked like a complete fool! :) Sophie had a bumpy ride because it wasnt smooth pavement, but she loved it. The whole time she was entertaining herself by listening to her voice sing in vibrato as she "Uhhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh'ed the whole time. Very cute, I might add. And, somehow her Cheerios managed to stay on the tray.

I finally managed to find a place where the gnats didn't congregate, and the breeze was just right. Sophie loved every minute of our outing. I took a few pictures with Paul's cell phone (posted above). So, Sophie and I sat there, enjoying the fresh air and taking in all of God's beautiful creations... and eating Cheerios.

Aside from the gross gnats, we had a lovely time. :)
