Aunt and Uncle's new fountain

Aunt and Uncle had us over for a final Sunday dinner at their house before we head out to Texas on Thursday (I still can't believe it!) On Saturday, CK and Uncle Steve moved Aunt and Uncle's new fountain into place in the space of the former goldfish pond. It's a beautiful stone that weights 1,200 lbs! I don't know how they did it! Neither Aunt or I saw them move it so we're convinced they had several people's help! :-) Sofia fell in love with the fountain! Well, the water anyway...not sure it was really her taste in fountains that caused such squeals. So, she splashed around and squealed while Uncle Steve grilled fish and Aunt Shirl cooked corn. When she wasn't splashing in the fountain, Sofia was busy climbing the stairs to Aunt and Uncle's deck and house - another of her favorites. It was a delicious meal and a fun evening to spend with Aunt and Uncle, although bittersweet given that we won't be able to pop over for dinner. Later in the evening, the fireflies were out and Sofia was mesmerized! It was amazing! Once she saw one 'flashing' she would follow the firefly around with her eyes and just had an absolute look of wonder on her face!

She just got a tad wet!


Splish! Slash!
