A Beautiful Day

Today was a beautiful day. I can't believe this is summer. Typically by now we are on our 5th heat wave of the season. Today was beautiful though, slightly warm, but not humid. Lovely blue skies with plenty of sun. We left early this morning for breakfast and to go on a hunt for sandals for Matthew. He's outgrown the ones we bought in the beginning of the spring and well, since it's July it's prime season to buy winter boots, but sandals? Forget it. On our way we found a farmer's market. After a stop there to fill our bags with corn on the cob, zucchini, tomatoes and cucumbers we went on our way to Target. Matt found a fish hatchery next and we decided to see if Matthew could see all the fish they had in the ponds.

Matthew had fallen asleep once we got there though.


The fish hatchery was very nice. They had trout. Big ones and little baby ones. It's a place we'll definitely take Matthew back to once he's bigger and can have fun feeding them.



He didn't quite know what to think.



We had an even more amazing find at the fish hatchery!


Baby duckies!!! They were so cute and a lot of fun to watch.

We came home and just did not much of anything. Matthew had a big nap and we straightened up around the house. For dinner I made a meal with the vegetables we bought at the farmer's market and since it was so nice out we ate on the porch.


It was a beautiful end to the day. And actually a wonderful weekend. Yesterday we went down to the Obon festival with our friends Christi and Robert. Here's a quick video of Matthew grooving to the drums.
