Beginning of school, end of summer

Eve's first day of first grade was a half day ending at noon, so we drove a few minutes further south and had a picnic lunch on the banks of the Columbia River.

 Boy, it was a good day for a beach picnic.

A few days later, Brian scored a used kids' pool for cheap.  Thank goodness the warm weather is holding.

 Eve, practicing her swimming moves.

I agree, Samuel:  pools are awesome. Thank you, Daddy!
