Life Aquatic

We’re water people. There’s something about spending time near a lake or an ocean that makes our family incredibly happy.

It’s all about getting back to basics. No computer or television. No games that need batteries. Just the three of us, a picnic blanket, and a cooler.

If we ever have the opportunity to live next to a body of water, we’re taking it.

This is what Matt does most of the time- keeps one eye on my camera and the other on Abby swimming!

Simpler Things

I love this lady. No idea who she is, but I love her. She was out at the lake this evening with a pink fishing pole and she was pulling fish out as fast as she could bait the line. I love that she wore a great hat and that she didn’t have a bunch of fancy stuff. She sat on a tackle box and threw her catches into an old beat up bucket.

It made me think how slowly time seemed to move when I lived in the country. Apparently time moves slowly in the suburbs too. You just have to be willing to sit down for a minute.

After the Storm

What began with thunder and lightning ended with beautiful colors.
