Today was a beautiful day - upper 60s, sunny, light wind. If only the entire summer were like this.. Actually, I wouldn't mind a few hot days so a dip in the lake would feel especially good.

Cory's on call this weekend, so he was gone in the morning. For a while now, Saturday lunches have been spent at McDonald's. Obviously not for the food, but so Accalia can run amuck in the playland with all the other kids. Since the warmer weather is heading our way, I think we need to change that to picnics out at the lake with Accalia running amuck. That sounds much, much nicer.

This afternoon we were able to play outside a lot. I was able to put Cole down for a short time while he napped, and Cory started to lay down for a nap before Cole woke up. In the mean time, Accalia and I went outside to play. We unearthed her tricycle from out of the depths of the shed and took that for a few spins around the front of the house. Then, when the boys were awake, we took Lucy out for a walk along the trail at a nearby creek. That was all built while we were living in Mitchell, so this was our first time on it. It was so nice seeing all these people out walking, biking, roller blading, etc. We didn't see nearly so many people outside in Mitchell as we do in Yankton. I think part of that is due to the great trails and outdoor activities here.

Some big sister talk:

Accalia: (as Cole reached for her food) Oh, oh Cole! You're too little. Suck on my toe! (which Cole promptly did).
