We made our first trip of the summer to our friends' camp on a lake where we had the beach all to ourselves. I enjoyed sitting in the shade reading as much as they enjoyed swimming and dunking and being wet and the obligatory ice cream stop on the way home.
Sunday afternoon, we headed down to wade in the river, for the first time all summer.
C took underwater video.
E and Z chased fish and crawdads.
And I stalked dragonflies and damselflies (more on that tomorrow).
On the way home, C and E visited one of the garden beds and discovered two monarch caterpillars on a nearby milkweed plant—the first monarchs we've found in years! We brought them in raise in our butterfly jar (they have a better chance of survival inside, away from predators). And I'm thrilled.
Three more reasons summer is the best season of all—water, dragonflies, and butterflies!
