we've been trying to get out to mt. orab to spend a day with dad & jennie for at least a year now, but something always got in the way. so when i knew we were going to have one "free" day (brooke didn't have school today), i booked us a trip to mt. orab :) and then i prayed for good weather because i really wanted the kids to be able to swim. my prayers were answered. we had perfect weather and a perfect day with jennie. it might just be our last day of summer around here, and i can't imagine a better way to have spent it. brooke was a little fish in the water. she swam all over the place with her floaty on and didn't need (or want) any help. i was very proud of her. she has been very slow to build confidence in the water, but i think it's finally starting to happen. gavin had fun playing on the steps of the pool, and we all soaked up some good ole sun. brooke and jennie picked vegetables from the garden and made us a delicious salad. dad came home from work and threw some barry burgers on the grill, and i swear my burger was the best burger i've put in my mouth in a very, very long time.
i've called a lot of places home over the course of my life, but there is really only one place that always feels like home no matter how much times passes or how much life changes. and i was glad to spend the day there today.
