One of the coolest things about our new property is the brook that runs through the backyard. With the summer-like temperatures of last weekend, the kids were able to really start enjoying it. After changing into their bathing suits each day, they didn't change back to clothes. They would play around in the yard, get hot, and then get back in the brook again. Jack says, "I don't ever want to get used to this or take this for granted." We are so grateful for this spot, this "Place on Earth", for our kids to grow up.
Jack has been taking afternoon runs. Cooling off in the brook after a sweaty run is just what he wants to do. His return from a run has been at about the same as time when Lauren wakes up from her nap. The girls are then ecstatic to head down to the brook with Daddy.
And after being in the brook, the kids like to wrap up in their towels and sit on our new porch swing. I've waiting a long time for a porch, not to mention a porch swing, and we are thoroughly enjoying these luxuries.
