Holiday weekend

blog

As we waited for the sun to sink in the west, 4-year old Kate asked me why the fireworks hadn’t started yet.

“Because,” I explained, “the sky is still light.  The sun needs to travel all the way to California before it will be dark.”

I felt proud of my explanation – until little Annabelle piped up, “I thought the EARTH turned.”

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I was owned by a 6-year old.

For the rest of the details of my holiday weekend, watch this:

    […] This is us at the top, by the upper lakes of Three Lakes Trail.  I’m not normally a pet person, but I have to say I have a special place in my heart for Rowdy after this hike. Both Rowdy & I got a little injured on our way up, but we stuck it out together, and Rowdy was always making sure both Annie and I were within sight. (You can see a video of our 6 hour road trip – in separate card – HERE). […]
