if . . .

If you take your six children to a free outdoor theatrical performance of Shakespeare’s MerryWives of Windsor

and you realize that although the kids are behaving splendidly, the story line is just not moving along on their level.

And it is really hot.

And you realize that you actually wish you were sitting somewhere else so you imagine they probably do as well.

Then it might be a good idea to take them to another end of the park.

Where ducks are your best friends

and you get to test your newly acquired skills of holding your breath and shoving your face under water.

A place where you can’t help dancing because there’s music in the air.  (Literally.  A lovely wedding reception was taking place across the street and we received the musical benefits.)

Where you can strip down to your shorts and work on your baby tan.

A place where your mom can record the following moment with shot by shot accuracy to pull out of the digital files when you reach that age.

First – the group photo underneath the waterfall.

Then, on the uprise, Hawkeye begins to realize that something is not quite right.

But only he is aware so far.

Check out his expression.

And then . . .

and then . . .

the big reveal.
