On a summers day

Josh and I have the pleasure of watching our nephew Jude once a week (one of the benefits of living with the Strohs) so that Casey and Micah can go on a date. This past nephew sitting session we decided to beat the heat by joining Elias and Theresa at Greenlake for an evening walk and ice cream cones. The sun was golden, the shores of Greenlake lined with people eager to take full advantage of this gorgeous Seattle summer. It is always fun to look at some place you have been so many times through the eager eyes of a 16 month old. Sand becomes less dirty and once more moldable into shapes and hills, water becomes enticing as you try and evade getting your toes wet as the water gently laps against the shore, and home doesn't seem quite so enticing as you try and make the last rays of sunshine keep going for a few more minutes. Aah the joys of youth.
