It was nice to have a day to reset and relax. The boys slept outside in the backyard last night. Elianna dropped off Zorro around 5:45AM so she could go down and work in the kitchen. She’s going to be helping out in the kitchen during the week and on the weekends as needs arise. Fall is still a pretty active time for the camp groups. It’s nice that she has something to do and it gives us more of an excuse and chance to see her.

I folded laundry and the boys did some yard work outside. Josh and I sat on the couch in the morning and drank our coffee and took turns complaining about our work. Or rather, we voiced a few frustrations. I kind of think it’s fine to say those things around your husband or wife. It’s when you’re saying them to everyone else where it seems to be more undesirable. You have to be able to hear and sympathize with each other.

Lauren and I went for a swim in the lake. While we were swimming she noticed a log with six turtles sitting and sunning themselves. I could not believe we were seeing that many. Five of them jumped off on our way past the tree. It doesn’t matter if you’re quiet or not that close they still will hear or see you somehow. On our way back the sixth one jumped off. The surrounding trees are so beautiful. It’s like having your own private pool.
