Happy Friday 6/25/21

Happy Friday! And happy SUMMER! We’re one week into summer vacation around here and loving it… unhurried mornings, fresh produce, eating every meal outside. The kids splashing around in the little blue pool in our yard filled with freezing cold hose water. And someone calling out ‘hey let’s go paddle boarding’ at 2 in the afternoon and all of us hoping in the car and heading down to the lake. Here’s to summer : )
