More Than We Ever Imagined: Perfect Weather

Perfect Weather

It couldn't have been more perfect today. The sky was blue with a few big fluffy clouds (no rain!), it was in the low eighties (no rain!), and, oh yeah, NO RAIN!!!!!!

We were able to have Grace's party here in the backyard. The water was soooooo cold, but they splashed around in it anyway. We had a princess cake from Lindsey's, cookies and cream ice cream, and lots of friends to share it with.

It was a great day.
