The best picnic in the whole wide world
I'm going to pretend I'm not in the desert.
I'm going to pretend it's not 116 degrees today... in the shade.
I'm going to pretend my family is gathered around me, and we're still having the best picnic in the whole wide world.
Isn't it awesome when it happens that way?
You see it was the perfect farewell to our summer.
There was good food.
And the children, who started out fully clothed, gradually stripped off their clothing a piece at a time after getting wet.
I took a nap, because it was that good, and this was my view.
And then I rolled over, and got to see this.
Most importantly, they were around me.
Their giggles and splashing and even the snoring were around me.
Bliss I tell you!
See... I told you it was the best.

ReplyDeleteI'm assuming that my picnic invite was lost in the mail...right?
ReplyDeleteWhat a kickin' time! Seriously!
I love all that splashing around and clothes drying going on. Livy is WAY braver than I am...you'll never catch me holding one of those little critters! I don't mind looking at them from the other side of glass...that's as close as I like to get. Thank you very much!
Anyway, these photos are fab. And I'm so glad to hear that summer ended well in your little neck of the woods.
I am IN LOVE with the second to last one. There are all beautiful! Great job!!!
