Lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer

I don't know that I can really say that we or the days have been lazy but with all the fires surrounding us, they've certainly been hazy. And having two youn boys staying with us full time, I think we could describe our schedule as a little crazier than usual. Both Michael and Ben are doing well here and fitting into our family routine. Well, routine is the wrong word to us. How about our daily "random events".

Like yesterday evening on the recommendation of a fellow ward member we packed up blankets and chairs and headed out to the Fair Oaks Village Square Park for a "Concert in the Park" Fair Oaks style. We stopped long enough at Burger King to pick up some hamburgers that ranged from "they forgot to leave out my cheese" to "this is the best burger I've ever eater...at Burger King".

Like the concerts at Carmichael Park, the best thing for the kids (and maybe the parents, too) is the close proximity of a decent playground. This park even has the added attraction of several beautifully colored chickens to chase around.

The performers "Sister Swing" are ones we've heard at the downtown Jazz Jubilee and always enjoy hearing them. They sing music like the Andrew Sisters of the late 30's and 40's would have sung. Easy to dance swing or jitterbug to their music or just sit back and enjoy the easy swinging jazz.
