On Saturday, Tim and I traveled down to the DC area and hung out with our daughter Sarah and son in law Dave. We went out to lunch, and sat outside in the beautiful sunshine and watched people on pedal boats on a small lake. Then we drove to Great Falls Park. The Potomac River runs through a lovely gorge and the falls are so pretty.
This high water marker is incredible.
It was very crowded not like this photo! It was also very hot!
We saw houses being built in this area that must be classified as super mansions! They are enormous. Sarah and Dave do not live in this area, and so we drove back to their small, but really nice apartment! We had a rest from the heat and crowds and had great discussions! So, so fun!
Then we realized it was after 7:00 pm and went to get some dinner. After dropping them off at their apartment, we headed home.
It was such a great day.
On Sunday, Father's Day, we had an outdoor service at church and then the church picnic. The whole day was good! Worship, baby dedications, good message, 2 baptisms. It was fun to have my parents with us, too!
We took the grands home after, and then we napped, and Tim went to help our son in law, Wes with something. Came back and he mentioned that our son Nate texted and told him they were bringing the girls to swim.
This photo was taken at 8:19 pm. It was not only Father's Day but it was the summer Solstice! The youngest girls have really gained skill in the pool this year, so that is fun to see!
It was a hard day for my daughter in law as it was the 17th anniversary of her mother's death. She was killed by a drunk driver who crashed headlong into her car as she waited at a red light. My daughter in law said she just tried to keep busy yesterday. She died two months before Nate and Kay met.
I've been enjoying summer since Memorial Day and I will continue until Labor Day. I hope you are all doing well.
