The look of love...

After a Saturday at home taking care of a few items on that ever-constant-and-growing to-do list, we ventured out this evening to the annual Summer Sounds at the Botanic Gardens. We go every year and just love it - jazz bands grooving up a storm in a gorgeous natural setting, with several thousand picnicing and enjoying the summery evening. Mark always teases me for my love of seeing everyone 'out and about' but I really do love those big happy community events and we attend quite a few!

We faffed about for most of the day (I am just going to assume this is a word everyone knows and not one I have  made up but I am not entirely sure) about whether to go or not due to possible rain and other factors but in the end we went. When in doubt, just go!! Of course it was worth it, we ran into several lovely friends and had a blast, especially going down the front where all the kids were dancing to the band. Lily and Eli were shrieking with glee and 'I am so excited because of this amazing atmosphere and sound which I don't fully understand so I will just squeal and run around like mad'-ness (I will assume you are also familiar with this feeling!). They loved it and grooved and ran and played and clapped and fell over and laughed and cuddled with me. It was glorious to say the least... I was snapping a few pictures while they danced and just then Mark came down to join us and I managed to capture this precious moment....



The look of love...

 Eli saw his Dad over my shoulder and bellowed 'Daddeeeeeeee!!!' as he always does. He adores his Daddy so much, especially since this month off recently, they have really bonded in a special way. Lily too of course, she just loves her Daddy and all their special games and jokes and of course wrestles!

It's a beautiful thing to witness the three people you love most of all in this world loving each other.
