Love at the Lake

We love the water. My parents generously invited us to play in it with them at Green River Lake - one of Kentucky's best kept secrets.

We swam, played in the sand, rode in the boat, ate  ice cream (Ami didn't share too much of that with me), fed ducks and fish, tracked birds, and gazed at stars. 

There was even a meteor shower... as though the universe itself celebrated in our joyful pleasures - splintering through  the night sky with glowing comet bits.

I had wicked fun.

Happy Moments

Before a trip to the store, my mom gave Sequoia a dollar.  Before we shopped, they shared this exchange:

Mom - Sequoia, what are you going to buy with your money?
Coy - Some eggs
Mom - Honey, we have eggs.
Coy - But, what do you need GiGi?
Mom - The money is for you to spend on something you want - like a little toy.
Coy - (Considering) Okay. Maybe I will buy a teeny tiny toy.

Sequoia also swam a few strokes without her lifejacket for the first time ever!
