Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Had some fun today. Today was the last day of the swimming lessons session, so that means we got to down the water slide a few times, and play in the fountain and raintree. The kids liked that.

Then, there's Blaine 4th of July celebration this weekend (don't know why it's a week early) over in Bumpy Slide Park, there's a little carnival and stuff going on. So, we went there after swimming. They have a little petting zoo, and Hanna just squealed with delight when she saw that. She just loves animals. She's going to be a vet or something. Then, we went on some carnival rides. A merry-go-round, a little train, some swings that go around and around, and a little octopus ride. On the swings, Hanna was just giggling, and as John came around once, he said "hi mommy and daddy!" They also had some of those inflatable jumping things, so they went in there, but only a couple minutes for a dollar. We got some cheese curds for our junk food quota. There was a strawberry ride, little cars that looked like strawberries that went around, but they twirled a bit too much for the kids, so we said that was for bigger kids, and John said "I want to be big."

So, everyone was worn, and went off for naps. They're still snoozing. Looks like it might rain tonight.
