A Sunday Afternoon

Today was yet another glorious day. After church, we decided to take our dinner to a state park near us. The sun was bright and warm though the breeze was a bit chilly. It was wonderful to be out on such a day.


Canadian geese on the lake. It is funny how clumsily they walk on land, but as soon as they touch the water they glide so beautifully.



Daddy, Abby, and Caroline tossing around a ball.



That is, tossing it around after rescuing it from the lake when someone threw a little too hard. :)



Lydia reading her C. S. Lewis book.

Abby wishing she could go swimming soon. She assured me the water was really warm.



And of course I could not go far without all my books. Or some of them anyway. :)




A beautiful evening enjoying the sunshine, reading, eating chicken without any forks :) , walking, listening to the songs of birds (even a loon!), and the peacefulness of the lakeside.
May everyone have a blessed Lord's Day evening!
