The beach...

I am counting the days until we leave for my blessed birthplace... but there are so many days to go... i needed to seek water. A friend and I decided to have a beach day, a lake about 110km round trip was calling us. So we packed up our 11 children (come home D we miss you) and two nephews and FILLED my 15 seater!! The first time ever! and headed to Rowans Ravine (Lost Mountain Lake). We picnicked, played on the park, made sandcastles, all the kids made it into the water,

casualties.... none

injuries..... one fingertip scrape, one bee sting, and maybe a bit of a sunburn on one or two kids..

It was a VERY successful trip... we headed back to Southey for dipped cones, and then dropped off 7 kids and a mama and headed home...

where the storm started... hail, rain, lightning, thunder, we ended up in the basement  for a while because there were tornado warnings for this area. But as fast as it came it went... just long enough to keep me from heading to a Usbourne book party i had an invite too and that mom had taken the night off to sit for.. But that's just the way things go. (every time it seems)

Blessings for your day
