We had a nice visit to the country this summer. We stayed a little longer than usual, just because. We spent lots of time doing nothing, and a little time doing stuff. It was great. We celebrated Mema’s birthday, did some hotel pool swimming, played games, took a hike with Julie and her girls, and ate s’mores. I’m going to let the pictures do the talking though.
Mommy (or daddy?) is back to feed the babies. Both parents took turns. They are hard working birdies.
Their birdhouse/wind-chimes had a family of wrens living in it! We had a great time watching the busy parents work non-stop to feed these babies!
At the pond. Possibly the most photogenic pond ever.
Catching frogs. The froggies were practically hopping into Eve’s hands!
Look at these teeny tiny frogs! So cute! So many!
Harry Potter Clue. It was Pettigrew! That rat!
Who’s hungry?!
S’mores!

Girls, dogs, and sparklers.
Sparklers
Just the three of us. <3
Settlers of Catan. Joyce’s favorite game! :) We played the Seafarer expansion pack just for her.
Post swim snuggles. LOL.
Happy Birthday Mema!!!!
Huxley got to the top of the hill and decided he was done.
All pink, no filter.
Look at that beautiful water-less waterfall!!
Hanging out behind the waterfall. All that’s missing is the water!
On top of the world, with old friends.
I can see my car from here! Barely.
I really, really want to love this picture, but UGH! Who is that gray-haired old lady in the middle?!
Sisters! One definitely needs to up her hiking game!
Lunch at the lake, in the pavilion.
World’s best cheese cake with expertly macerated strawberries! :)
Huxley DOES NOT want to be left behind again!
Heading home.
Life is good.
I can’t believe this was just a few weeks ago! Great pics, Tessa! COVID summer 2020!
Rest up for round ?
