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

Ah, summer

Nice summer weather today. This morning I took the kids over to Bumpy Slide Park, where Blaine has their 4th of July carnival every year. Not sure why it is a week early this year. John went through some of the inflatable things. And then, we went on 4 rides; the merry go round, the bumble bee ride, the safari train, and the berry ride. The kids also had fun at the petting zoo.

Then, back home for lunch, and Hanna and I snoozed for awhile. Then, we went over to Bunker Beach. Was fairly busy, a tiny bit cloudy and breezy otherwise it might have been packed to the gunwales. John swam in the shallow pool for a bit, then we went to the wave pool, and then John played in the sand pit for quite awhile.

Temps tomorrow might be near 90 and humid. So, will probably go to the lake or Bunker Beach again.

Supper tonight was cheesy brats, corn, and cantaloupe. At Maya's house next door they are putting up their swingset.
