Yesterday, I missed my chance to take photos of the lilies as they close up before the morning is over. So today Chloe an I made sure to get some pics early!

In the early afternoon, Camille and I explored the eight mounds in at Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park. The temple mound is the largest one, and is quite overgrown with vegetation. But it was fun to climb to the top!

Camille and I picked Chloe up from school and hit the road! We got to Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park in southwest Georgia around 6:30. We quickly got ourselves set up and made dinner, then enjoyed a nice evening by the lake.
photo friday: city museum
Six and a half years ago, the girls and took a weekend trip to Saint Louis and, on the recommendation of a friend, we headed to City Museum. Ever since that trip years ago, the girls have been begging to return. So when we accompanied Rob on a St. Louis back in June, a return

On my way home from first aid class at the City Museum, I walked across the square. All around, the square was alive with people enjoying a lovely evening. And I was offered a sweet potato chip by a couple of strangers. Never a dull moment.

I saw so many flowers on our walk today, but I forgot to take photos of any of them. Oops.

I don’t know why Gazoo loves Chloe so much, but she does. Gazoo is forlorn when Chloe leaves for school and thrilled when she gets back home each day.

Chloe and I had a nice post rainstorm swim this evening. The clouds were moving fast, but the rain had moved away.

We headed down to the Fox Theatre today to see Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby. Chloe insisted that we stay after the show so she could get to meet the famous Olympic gymnast!

Camille had two friends over this weekend. Both named Claire. It got confusing. Thankfully, we named Camille “Camille” and not “Claire”.
photo friday: gateway arch
In June, the girls and I accompanied Rob on a trip to St. Louis. The girls had two “must visit” places for the trip: City Museum and the Gateway Arch. So first thing Sunday morning, we headed down to the river to visit the arch. While there, we chose to visit the Westward Expansion Museum,
instagram: friday night
The five (us plus a friend) of us headed down the block to meet the family of Chloe’s friend at Swirlin’ Twirlin’ for dessert. We stayed for a couple hours! It was so nice to get out and get to know some people in Decatur better.
instagram: downpour
The day was a nice day other than the twenty minutes that I *had* to go out to take Chloe to gymnastics. During that time, it poured so much that the streets flooded.
instagram: bedtime swim
Chloe and I were both cranky, so I dragged her out to the pool for a swim before books and bed. And it helped us to both reset our moods. Whew.
lessons in reality tv
For years, we lived without tv. We watched Disney and HGTV while traveling and that was plenty for us. When we moved to Decatur last fall, I decided that I was ready to get cable once again. Our tv watching comes and goes. Some weeks I watch too much. Other times, I can go weeks
instagram: spacer
Chloe headed back to the dentist today and had her spacer installed. Poor thing. It is really not very nice looking, AND she can’t eat sticky food for a couple years ….

The construction continues here at home. I sure hope that they’ll finish up soon.
instagram: pool
Thought Chloe is back in school, it is still very much summer, and we were glad to have a nice evening to spend at the pool.
Georgia: Etowah Indian Mounds
This past Friday while Chloe was tucked safely in a chair at school, because how else could she learn, Camille and I took a field trip up to Etowah indian Mounds Historic Site as part of her studies on native cultures in Georgia. It took a little longer to get there than I had realized,
