We took the kids to the zoo. This bear was in front of the gift shop, which had a special kid-sized door next to the adult-sized one. :-)
I love our front porch even more, now that we've acquired a glider bench for it. If only I had the time to actually sit on it.
In late August, I took the kids down to Grandma and Grandpa Kluge's for a short visit, the main purpose of which was to spend time in the river and on our island, just like Daniel and I did when we were kids. Conveniently, Daniel was still home on vacation while we visited.

Our neighbors (who own the other part of the island) kindly allow us to use their spiffy gangway...
...and their even spiffier wooden bridge. They take it up in the fall when the water begins to rise, and replace it in the summer. It's a big improvement -- when we were kids we had to wade out to the island.
