Dead fish :(

AK and I had Ben and Hunter over for supper tonight. Jess is away and I thought the least I could do was cook a nice dinner for Ben to celebrate Father's Day. The kids did a really good job of eating most of their supper - Ben bribed them with ice cream. Funny how they didn't need much direction eating dessert!

We walked down to the duck pond and fed the ducks some old bread I had in the freezer. We noticed that there were many dead fish near the shore :( (do ponds have a shore?) I really don't know what to think of that. One dead fish, or two, fine, but I counted up to 10 and I'm sure there were more. Ben was chasing after the ducks to make them quack and I warned him to not scare them - I didn't want to come back another day to find that the ducks were dead too, ha!

AK found some clear sparkly nail polish and was quite insistent that she needed it on so we did her nails up while she watched some Dora before bed.

I had a really lovely experience this afternoon. I reconnected with some of my fellow 40 day'er yoga challengees. We visited for a while, and then had a very special practice. One of the girls I did the challenge with just returned from her Level 1 teacher training and so she led a practice for us, on a dock leading out to the ocean. She was nervous - understandably so - but she did a wonderful job and it was amazing to have our practice out on the water, with the sun warming and the breeze cooling us. It was a beautiful day and it was really quite something to watch the clouds move across an amazing blue sky while we balanced and flowed. I especially enjoyed an upside-down look at water spraying off of some ironshore while I was in Wheel, and peeking at the sun between my toes and feet in Shoulder Stand. We had a potluck after too, and there is just something so bonding about sharing good tasty food with friends. My quinoa salad turned out really well, that is something that will come into my rotation.

Well, it's past 10pm... time for bed! xo
