A Rainy Summer’s Day

Well, what is a family to do on a rainy summer’s day?  Why go out for a walk of course.  Luckily for us it was only drizzling.

 

The girls had a lot of fun watching the various types of birds swimming on the lake.  They also watched snails Those you see in the hand were actually picked up by one of my girl friend’s sons.  Neither girl is particularly fond of bugs.  Katrine enjoys reading books about them and Elspeth is no longer totally terrified but that said, they could easily do without seeing them…with the exception of snails apparently.  They also had fun getting dirty climbing the tree.

Me?  Well, I got the chance to get some fresh air while getting caught up with an old friend.  A great morning outing topped off with a slushie on the way to skating camp.
