Beautiful Summer

Summer held many delights for us this year.  We took every opportunity to go to the river, the lake, and play, play play!  We have small children so our job is to play with them.  So here we are hard at work;
Hiking Natural Bridge
(that's D's stuffed bunny who got to hike with us)

 Dorathea's Ballet Recital
Swimming at Grandmamas, and Fishing with Grandpa


lounging by the duck pond

 chasing ducks;
 Yes, we get to live in this beautiful place! the view from a strollering afternoon;
 Floydfest, where Ted and I played music told stories in Children's Universe, and our lovely roadie; Karen.  Thank God for her!
 He's up close to the band listening to the music

Dorathea performed her original song, 

 Jumping and napping on the new "sleeping porch" bed
 Welcome tea party for Doug

 Blueberry Picking at the Pate's farmhouse


 He's holding a microphone with one hand and eating with the other.
 Lovely Lindsey Pate weighing the berries for us.
And a visit to the Safari Zoo with the Wheeler family (more on that soon)

 it's enough to make even my children tired.
Happy Summer Ya'll!
