I went to pick up the kids at Grandma's house after my weekly admin meeting for church. They were dining al fresco. So chic. :)
After the meeting we went to pick up one of Layla's friends, and then they swam in the pool for a good few hours (did I tell you they swam for EIGHT HOURS straight on Thursday afternoon? 12:15-8:15 p.m.? Haha. Best amazon purchase ever, by far.)

| Cora was sad and the only thing that could make her happy was some naan. :) |

| This is their favorite place to dry off, because it's so warm in the sun. Finn was telling stories to the three girls. |

While the kids swam and played I sat in the shade and listened to the wisdom of some prominent evangelical leaders.
The introduction by Dallas Willard made me cry a little, as did the first chapter. I'm guessing that will be a theme. |
After playtime we headed to Snail Lake to celebrate the 40th birthday of a friend from church. It was such glorious weather in the pavilion on top of the hill, with lovely breezes coming in off the lake.
 |
Jonas, Finn and Cora off to explore the flooded section of the lake...there were picnic tables under water! GREAT fun.
They came back smelling as foul as anyone can smell. EVER. :) |
