.: June :.

Oh how we've been soaking up every bit of sunlight and summer on these long long days. 

Snacking on fresh strawberries from our friend's farm market for dessert.

 

Playing outside after dinner...a luxury we are afforded only this time of year!  Frances is just about outgrowing her swing which seems impossible.  It feels like THIS was just yesterday...

Yesterday we spent the day at  my favorite beach spot, Island Beach State Park.  We were joined by our dear friends, Kristen, Liem, and Emily.  There was much squealing, laughing, digging, splashing.  Both girls even ventured out with me (one at a time, of course!) to where the water was up to our shoulders.  Neva was clinging on for dear life but smiling and laughing.  Frances was completely serious as she was attempting to wriggle out of my arms and proclaiming, "Mama!  Let me swim!"
