"That beautiful season the Summer! ...

...Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

So my goal for this week is spend everyday outside as much as possibly. Simply because the weather has been absolutely perfect, except maybe a little chilly in the mornings.
They, finally, after over a year of building it, opened the sprayground at the our local park. Very exciting stuff. ;) It was a little cool when I took the kids yesterday morning, but I know with August coming and as hot and sticky as it normally is, the kids and I will be regulars at the sprayground. And as an added bonus, the sprayground is literally like 10 feet away from Kate's favorite playground. Then after that we went Aunt Shell's and Katie enjoyed the pool, well mostly. She got a splinter in her hand that Aunt Shell had to console her about.











Then today we went to meet Ben, Robin, Caleb, and Claire to Poole's Mill and played in the river and at the park. Caleb was so sweet with Katie today, pushing her on the swing and holding her hand because she was scared as they slid down the rocks.
