4th

This 4th of July weekend was magical.

We spent lazy mornings eating "green pancakes" (daddy's recipe of banana,  spinach & whole wheat ).

And played outside with our cars, tractors, trains and buses in the strong summer sunshine.

We took long drawn out mid-day naps (almost 3 hours each day).

And we dazzled in our afternoons on the lake.

Daddy wake-boarded and Dylan loved the water. We floated all together, watching boats and people. Lathering with sunscreen and eating bbq chips right out of the bag.

We fell into bed exhausted each day.

Sleeping that sleep where you don't move and drool pools on your pillowcase.

If I could, i would bottle up 4th of july weekend. Keep it on a shelf and bring it out every now and again to live it all again.

The sun, the water, the giggles, the FEELING that these are the parts of life that make it...life.
