ayant chante tout l'ete: en ville

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a lame blogger. I now find myself in a new year posting the following picture of our fair city...

...in August of last year. On this particular beautiful summer afternoon, we headed downtown for an impromptu adventure. I don't want to let this day slip between the cracks. It turned out to be a bit of family magic.

We jumped rocks on the esplanade along the river...

...while J attended to some business for church.


We explored a floating dock and let Scout off her leash.

Scout's new best friends...

Our rented surrey with the fringe on top...

Waiting to eat at a sidewalk cafe...

Crossing back when the sun started to set...

  Posting this on a gray, rainy day in January makes me long for summer.

Almost as soon as school let out, we fled the coop. Up, up and away! First stop? Home.

Wouldn't Ed make a great Harry Potter?

Cast, schmast...this boy showed no fear

Uncle power

We spent an afternoon taking in the scenes at Burke Lake Park.

Blowing bubbles

Summer was off to a great start!
