We had a delightful time at Pineview Reservoir on Aug. 12. We took our neighbor Josh and joined Nora, her six children, and some of their friends. The weather was perfect: warm without being oppressively hot nor eye-gougingly bright. Downright pleasant. We stayed all afternoon. On the way home, we hit strong winds on Hwy. 89 that buffeted the car and sent debris crashing into the windshield. It cracked. The kids laughed and yelled in unison, "Whoa!" It was a scare that thankfully ended as soon as it began. The sky now pouring water, we turned off the highway into our neighborhood and a car pulled sharply out of a side street in front of us. Then lightning and thunder banged into each other. "Wow! Three near-death experiences in one trip!" Josh exclaimed. Glad we're such thrilling company.
Before that, the most exciting part of the outing was when baby Mckay blew out his diaper, and Nora didn't have another one. She is thoroughly unflappable, that Nora. Samuel, less so. I waded into the lake up to my chest with my camera so I could capture the kids' jubilant faces. Samuel scolded me, "Don't take my picture when I'm almost drowning!" Ok. I love summer's shift on priorities.
