We went up to my sister’s house today. It was blessedly sunny for the first time in days. (Though we were all amazed at how high and muddy the Delaware River was when we drove over the bridge.)

It was such a nice day, too, with the whole family together. Well, almost. My niece was away at college, so she wasn’t there. We missed her, but had a good time anyway.

Chappy’s favorite part was when we all went for a walk. (My nephew was out on his bike with a friend at this point.) I’m still amused at the range of clothing layers among the five of us–from shorts and a t-shirt to pants and three layers.

We walked around to one of my sister’s friend’s houses. She wasn’t there, but we wanted to see the stream in the back.

It was so pretty! It does this big, looping twist through the backyard. Patty said that it was the reason they  bought the house, and, well, I can completely understand. Of course, the stream was running faster than usual, also. Did I mention that we’ve had a TON of rain lately? Not as much as, say, North Carolina, but still.

It turned into a gorgeous weekend, though. I’m so happy for Jessica’s sake–she’s getting married this weekend!

Sadly, the weekend wasn’t as good for Kim. She had an electrical fire at her house last night. (Yes, this is the Kim who invited us to the historical house tour last weekend.) Luckily, everyone is okay and the only real damage was to the wiring (which, really, is damage enough), but … scary!

Yep, really pretty.

How about you? How is your weekend going?
