Stress relief

After a super-stressful morning and a just plain awful lunch, everyone took a break for quiet hour.  That was the turnaround point of the day.  Emily & I enjoyed a competitive card game of "Trash" on the deck.  Then I took the kids swimming at the Waverly pool for the first time this summer (I know, it's pathetic).  They had a great time, and I discovered it has gotten much easier to take them.

We enjoyed a delicious grilled supper on the deck.  Then the kids had fun playing outside in the beautiful weather.  They have enjoyed using this box as a "train station" with the plasma cars.
