We spent most of Saturday purging out our storage room in the basement. It started as, "I'll just pick up a few things here and there" and turned into a full-blown cleaning with a trip to the dump and two trips to DI. So...after that was said and done, Ron wanted to take a drive up to Silver Lake. I'm so glad we did! Not only was it beautiful, but it was 20 degrees cooler there!
There was wildlife:
More wildlife:
Sibling love:
Clear water that was breeding some serious mosquito action:
Family togetherness:
And amazing flowers everywhere!
But the most exciting thing of the day was the CAR-B-QUE we saw on the way home! It was totally engulfed and we could feel the heat as we drove by.
We've got to get out more often!
