Pool Party at my Aunt's

Emily & Jason had a great time at their second cousin's birthday pool party. It took place at my aunt's farm in rural Virginia. Emily had a buddy during the present opening (Pepper, the dog). I was able to sneak a few moments away from the crowd swinging in an awesome hammock, looking over the fields and pond. Apparently snakes climb into the trees above to rub their old skins off when it's time for a fresh version. Apart from that thought, this delightful hammock made me want one someday. The gentle swinging under the rustling leaves with blue sky peeking through was so peaceful and rejuvenating.

Two days later, Emily said goodbye to the fish in her grandma's little backyard pond, with both grandparents in attendance. What sweet people these are.
