I love summer

 Decided to take the kids to the lake.  Zuke was the first in the van.

 Zuke learned to swim.  He prefers lying out on a towel like all the other sunbathers.  When I offered to take the children to the washroom he came along without a blink of the eye.  He simply went in the handicap stall with Clive and David and kept watch under the door.  I think the campers were to dumbfounded to say anything.  Nobody actually told him he is a DOG.

 We brought a boat, but who needs a boat when there are perfectly good logs in the forest!  The race is on!

 Here are my boys doing what they do best.  Clive gets these crazy ideas, then everyone wants to play.

 The apples are dropping like crazy.  We had apple juice this morning.  The chickens get the not-store-bought apples.  They're still pretty tart, but everyone loves the fact that we are making our own juice so they choke it down.  We're all happily eating mummy's yogurt though.  It turned out beautifully thanks to  the yogurt maker in the crawl space!  We had sourdough toast with eggs this morning as well. YUM.

 Matthew is catching "pets".  He got a moth this morning and kept it in his little hands so long it didn't make it.  Clive and David found some more creatures for him which softened the blow.

We are never bored.  The difficulty comes in deciding just what we should do.  One cores apples, one picks apples, one picks and eats cherries, one catches bugs.  I love summer.
