While it is sizzling hot here in Mid-Tennessee, we go to the water. On Wednesday evening, we packed up the fishing rods, chairs and children and headed to the lake for some evening fishing.
Learning how to master the rod from his daddy:
Little man reeled in his 4th fish. It was too small so he released it back in to the lake but he was super proud of catching it.
Amelia was less lucky but still enjoyed trying it and wading in the water:
The sunset and scenery was beautiful and very relaxing:
Great way to end a hot summer day. But all this heat is good for my vegetable garden. Everything is starting to get bigger and ready for harvesting. This was Thursday's harvest:
My friend Bettina and her daughter (one of our "safe" people) stopped by spontaneously on Thursday afternoon. She loved the kitten. If you ever wonder, an almost two-year old and a 17-week old kitten are on the same level.
Friday after lunch, we headed to the Y pool. The kids love jumping in and practicing their swim skills. This summer, Elliot is so close to passing his swim test. The early bird gets the whole pool to themselves (pictures from 2 weeks ago):
While there were more people here yesterday, it still felt like we had enough room to ourselves to ensure social distancing (the chlorinated water also helps). I even got to swim for 30 minutes. Afterwards, the kids were ready to relax a bit:
This is how we make the best of this summer!
