Summer!

Seriously, though. WE ARE LOVING our summer.

I think we always have loved it but this year seems especially magical--perhaps because we kicked it off with our JuneTripSouth, perhaps because our basement drama has pushed us outside to enjoy the beauty outside, perhaps because we have three BIGGER KIDS who really know how to play together and explore with wonder & excitement... or perhaps it has to do with that beastly Minnesota winter we survived?

It is awesome. I am grateful. YAY SUMMER!

P.S. Lots of store are already discounting summer goods to put out fall/school supplies...yay for 50-70% off outside toys!
