Singing in the Rain

"Life is like an old time rail journey…delays…sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling burst of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” - Gordon B Hinckley

It was a gorgeous day today. It was 25* C and felt perfect. We spent the morning at the park, playing with a bunch of friends. This afternoon, the girls & I made Rice Krispie squares while Mr. Q took a nap. 

Matt got home earlier than he has been lately & we ate supper together on the deck. The gils were so excited about corn on the cob. 

Miss A did pretty well since she's missing her 3 front top teeth & told us at supper that 3 more are loose...

I think corn will be out of the question if those fall out before any grow in.

After supper the kids started playing their made up Umbrella Game in the yard. One child has the sprayer & the other two have umbrellas. 

The point of the game is for the Sprayer to get the other two wet. The other two try to protect themselves. Every once in a while they trade positions. 

Thank goodness for Dollarama umbrellas because they were completely bent and wrecked by the end of the game.

I loved hearing the giggling voices, and seeing the smiles that were plastered on their faces. Today, we were riding along the top of the most beautiful vista, and I am, indeed, THANKFUL for the ride.
