What a Weekend...

Sunday, after a long week, we decided to go eat lunch at The Overlook on Canton Lake and take the girls swimming. Abbey has gotten so brave since her swimming lessons. I love watching her be more active when we are swimming. Of course there is Rylee who is like a little fish and could live in the water. They had a blast. They made "new friends" at the lake. They play with anyone they meet, which is a wonderful quality and I am so thankful that both my girls have acquired it. Ryan and I swam with them for about 30 minutes and then we were through, but the girls swam for about 2 hours. It was hot that day, only 108 I think. Needless to say, even with sunscreen we all had a pinkish/red hue to us.












After swimming at the lake we went for a drive West of Fairview to see the damage left behind by the fires that had been going since Friday. It has been said that someone saw a suspicious person lighting the fire; but I do not know how it started. It sarted in Chester and by Sunday was in Cheyenne Valley, a few miles West of Fairview. It was unbelievable seeing how the fire had jumped from one farm to another, leaving a farm in between untouched. I am so grateful that noone lost their homes or lives. There were some cattle lost and equipment, but thankfully that can be replaced.
