Fun in the Summertime

This past week we have been fortunate enough to have, quite possibly, the most perfect weather in August... mid-80s, sunny, and skies with bouncing puffy clouds, the kind you lay back in the grass and try to figure out the shapes. Saturday morning, Ell and I wanted to enjoy the last bits before the rains began so we took a nature walk at Loch Raven Reservoir after lunch.
Sometimes you can choose to sit inside and let the grey clouds weigh on your mood. Other times you can choose to join the falling raindrops and let them wash away your cares, fears, your inhibitions. You can join them as they drip, drop, and splash on the ground. You can listen to the Mother Nature's soothing drums, throw caution to the wind, and enjoy one of the purest joys... Dancing in the rain.
Saturday on our nature walk. We spotted many things... Deer tracks (mamma and baby), mussel shells, tiny fish, and many smiles!
MB and Ms. Beth being silly at Hunt Valley on Friday night... The girls all enjoyed music by The Bridge, dinner by The Greene Turtle, and fun by us!
Ell and Kiley on Friday night hamming it up!
Sometimes you just need to, "AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Here is Ell's Big Kid School Jam... Enjoy!
