exploring

from a summer sunday afternoon, exploring.

once upon a time

Once upon a time, we sat under tall leafy trees, our clothes soaking in the smoke of the fire. "So we may be going to Virginia again." And it's funny to think back to that time, because it seems so distant now. In the glory of that summer. With blue skies and lush, green grass. Before we knew any of this. Our fingers were sticky with s'mores and our hearts were full with excitement.

that's what summer is for

Our family took a spontaneous road trip to Nebraska. We decided to leave around three o'clock in the afternoon and woke up the next morning in a hotel. Because I guess that's what summer is for. We went to the Omaha Zoo for the day in absolutely perfect weather and drove home that night.

Good times.

'this is a good place.' 'where?' 'here.'

the first taste of summer

the first bike ride. the first swim. the first watermelon. the first suntan. the first taste of summer.
