What a perfect summer day! We swam the afternoon away at the local pool where Isabel ran into many of her school friends. We lounged in the shade eating juicy watermelon then walked back home to fall fast asleep to the hum of the fan. Once up, we were delighted to see papa had set up the barbecue and had a feast for dinner that included barbecued chicken, roasted potatoes, corn on the cob, marinated steak brochettes, french bread and flame broiled red peppers. After the delicious dinner Isabel and Gabriel rode their bikes along the river trail, while Alan and I followed behind enjoying the sunset. Welcome back, summertime! Oh how we've missed you!
