Something about summer always brings back memories of childhood. I remember other seasons, but summer is particularly vivid. Vacation, freedom, sun tea on the deck, hearing the screen door slam, writing and rewriting my birthday list, running through the sprinkler and hopping on my bike (it was thrilling). Days where your bathing suit was your outfit for the day and it was perfectly acceptable. Those summers of my youth. Every summer I’m reminded and think fondly of my 6-year-old self. I hope my girls can have similar memories.

In May, we visited Southern California. Where I was born. Our honeymoon destination. In-N-Out Burger. Needless to say, it holds a very special place in our hearts. Jonah packed just one camera and three rolls of film. 36 shots. Georgie lining up smooth rocks in the sand; Vivi running to the ocean and falling in the ocean; The girls giggling as they walked through the grass barefoot; Their glee upon entering Disneyland and meeting Goofy. I cherish each moment.
