Nothing Could Be Finer...

Than to be in Carolina... in the morning.
Saturday's beautiful weather found us out at our favorite family picnic spot. This time we got there well before noon, all eight of us, minus Emma (the dog). We couldn't fit her and the bikes at the same time.
We grilled eggs and bagels and sausage on the beautiful, waterfront decks and watched the sun and the wildlife from the deck and rode bikes and walked. The only downer was that no one wanted to take me on in tennis. I went with Emily and that was after much cajoling. Woe is me. 1/2 an hour and she was whipped, not before coming up with a new backward backhand grip that took the ball up into the air so far that it was like she was playing on the court upside down. It was fun to laugh at the foibles and funny things on Saturday.
Ethan took her place when she gave up and he is starting to get the hang of things on the court and really making contact. We will see...
We grilled hot dogs for lunch and ate to our hearts content. It was very hot out there, but I wouldn't let them see me sweat...much.
