I wanted to post some pictures of things that have been happening. We had a nice thunderstorm 2 weekends ago and I forgot to post this picture of the rainbow. The colors were so bright and it actually became a double rainbow. It was just as pretty as the ones we would see in New Mexico and El Paso. The pictures just don't show its true beauty!
I had to take a picture of the gardens in the park with their new plants and flowers. They dug up all the bulbs and in a week - voila!
I couldn't get over all the different types of flowers.
On the way back home from walking Maggie, I had to take a couple of pictures of this great idea! I noticed them setting this up and couldn't figure out exactly what it was. It is a training course for children and bike safety. They have stop lights, street signs, roundabouts, crosswalks, and yields.
There are 3 police officers and they review all the rules with a class of about 15. The police provide the bikes and helmets and the children ride around and get to practice what they have learned. They have about 4 or 5 classes a day and it looks like it is a mandatory course. The children are around 10 years of age. I say that they should do this in the states. I wouldn't mind taking the course! It looks like fun too!
We finally had a day that it was warm enough to head to the lake. We have been having nice weather but it's been staying in the low 70's. We did have a spell of wind. The wind boarders loved it for the lake. You have to be really strong to do that sport!Kate, Jason and a swan cleaning its feathers were enjoying the beach.
That was about as deep as Maggie would go. She's definately not a water lover. The lake water is so clear - you can see all the rocks. It is a necessity to wear water shoes. There is too much broken glass and who knows what else.
Lucas and his friend and I were the only ones brave enough to swim out to the platform. The water temperature was quite cold but you get numb to it after awhile. I have to admit it felt good once I got in and swam. I hit a few warm spots which was nice. It is very hard to swim with shoes on.
I spotted a crawdad (sp?) on the way back in. Katelyn had no idea that it was only a foot away from her. Lucas discovered the babies on the bottom.
Kate did some swimming too. She has finally graduated from the huge facemask to the googles.
Devin looked pretty relaxed drinking his "Fanta".
Kate catching some sun.
We had a fun day yesterday. Today, we woke up to pouring down rain. It's a Monday!
