Neighborhood Lake

Sometimes after dinner we like to take a little bike ride to the lake to hang out before it gets dark. It's been getting dark really really late here, so we have plenty of time to sit on the little dock and watch birds and pick plants.

Amy likes to collect plants for Mr. Conductor. He's a very hungry herbivore. It takes a lot of grass. 

This is the little path down to the spot we like. Most times we have the whole lake (pond really) to ourselves. Sometimes there are people fishing.

This is the parking lot.

Mr. Conductor has leaves, sticks, and even a few flowers here. Lucky guy. He stays very far from the edge of the water. He has heard stories of the first two Mr. Conductors and their mishaps with water.

This is seconds before a water mishap. Amy was wading and fell over and freaked out trying to get out of the water. Hmm, maybe her panic is why I'm having such a hard time getting her in the pool this summer.
