The 4th.

Saturday, July 11, 2015












The 4th might just be my favorite time of the year. I love everything about it. I love the summer days that never end, the smell of the pavement when it gets hot, anniversaries, baseball games and swim meets, Grandma Opal's apple pie, BBQ, homemade potato salad, sparklers and jumping over smoke bombs, swimming + improv slip-n-slides, American flags, patriotic colors, monkey man and joker chanting, and the stillness that seems to come with the excitement of children when the neighborhood lights up the sky with fireworks. 

This July 4th was one for the books, there were so many simple moments that filled my heart with pure joy.
