A day at the "beach"

Much like growing up and thinking the beach meant Spenard Lake, "beach" to Madelyn means String Lake up in the Park. About 100 times more scenic, clean, and quiet than Spenard Lake:) We were a bit late meeting friends up there, but caught the Lewis fam just before they departed in their canoe...


Here's M checking out the water...



We came home to a fire truck in the neighborhood. Madelyn and I had to go check it out, of course (current fascination with big trucks!). It turned out that a pipe in one of the neighboring townhouses burst and the fire department was called in. Lots of action with hoses, pumps, people in fire hats, and neighborhood dogs... Madelyn thought it was GREAT!
