MN 8/22

The forecast was for only "partly cloudy" so we made plans to do a belated birthday celebration for Laura at the lake. Before we left, Zach got a little front-loader time in.

He negotiated in the car, saying he was going to nap so he could have his "pah-sih-uh." He still held his book, though upside down, and eventually gave up the pah-sih-uh when there was too much temptation to look around.

We met Marie and Carlton and Lois for birthday BBQ and cake, frosted (and taste-tested) by Zach. Yum! The weather held, and even cleared up, so we swam, fished, dug, and frolicked.

Zach missed his nap, had a pillow fight with Carlton, and spent some QT in the nude. Olivia charmed with her smiles and even took her first dip in Sugar Lake without any tears.

SO glad we got a day in! Needless to say, both kids zonked on the ride home.
