Sunset

Dear Leiana,
After lunch today I took you and your sister across the creek to lay in the grass. Sis rolled around on the blanket and we sat and read Eloise Takes a Bawth. You were kind of scared to walk on the grass barefoot cuz San Diego grass is crunchy and pokey but I convinced you to pretend it was the ocean and you finally crossed to the gazebo, or the party house as you and your other friends like to call it.
It was really cloudy, a rarity in July around here. When we first sat down on our blankets we were under a eucalyptus tree. We heard it squeaking and cracking so we moved quickly out from under it.
We talked about how paper is made from trees, clothes are made from cotton, all which are from plants that God created. We talked about how neat it is that God created everything we need and that everything we make is from something He already made. We also talked about maybe trying to make our own paper soon. I honestly have no idea how to do it but I guess I can google it to find out. 🙂
We walked across the street to Tom’s for a milkshake and on our way back daddy drove by coming back from watching a movie (the new Planet of the Apes) with a friend. He picked us up so we could watch the sunset. We drove to coast highway in Carlsbad and the sunset was gorgeous!! It was really cloudy but right above the horizon it was clear enough to see the florescent pink sun come from behind the clouds before it set. So it was almost like a double sunset. The sun coming out of the clouds was amazing and then right after it became full, it set. It was majestic pink the entire time and you of course loved it because you love pink. :). We heard some people clapping when it finally set because it was so amazing.
Daddy said for us to remember that moment because we might not be here in San Diego for very much longer.
We will be Kentucky bound in a few weeks. We will see though where God takes us.
Love, Mama
