Memorial Day Weekend

"We want something else which can hardly be put into words--

to be united with beauty we see, to pass into it,

 to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it."

C.S. Lewis

Memorial day weekend was spent mostly outside.  Even though it was incredibly hot, we took advantage of our mornings and late afternoons, to bathe in all the beauty the outdoors had to offer.

Of course I am not even sure Lucy recognized how hot it was.  Oh, to be young and  carefree!

We decided to make a trip back into the woods, to show Daddy the "scene of the crime" (ie, our friend the German Shepherd, referred to in the last post). 

Lucy deciding to entertain herself (and us) singing at the outdoor amphitheater at Kehner Park:

Taking an (unprompted-by-her-parents)-bow...

Lucy's first attempt to take a picture....(not too bad!)....

Heading back into the woods....

And, yes, Brian is really wearing socks with his sandals.   I thought this fashion statement was reserved for those over 55?

And coming out....Such a hike! Our little girl was a real trooper!

The Memorial Day Parade, downtown West Chester:

God bless America, and all those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

How have you been staying cool lately?
