Ah summer… I said at the beginning of the season that I wanted a real summer, with bbq, sprinklers, juicy peaches, the beach, the farmer’s market, and swimming pools, and I’ve gotten it ten-fold. Seriously, this has been a wonderful summer, made all the more so by watching all these wonderful things through Chloe’s eyes. There have been so many firsts, and Chloe is eating it up along with me.

When was the last time you skipped?? I used to be friends with a group of people who had forgotten how to skip. Can you believe that? Completely forgotten. Don’t let this happen to you!

If you haven’t yet been bitten by the summer spirit, I hope these pictures put you in the mood to play, and skip, and splash, and gorge, and luxuriate in summer summer summer.
