Life has been so up and down this summer. There have been many days where it feels like we are just surviving and barely making it. And unusual for us, we haven’t had many activities lately where our entire family has been together. But tonight? It was one for the books.

We opened up the pool in the afternoon and swam until a night storm kicked us out, only stopping for an impromptu BBQ on the patio. Just our little family, having so much fun together. I’m going to be storing this in my memory for a long time.

Everyone was in good spirits. There was laughing and back flips (had no clue Oliver knew how to do one and Brandon still has it!), sprinkler soccer, dance parties, toe touches and pushing each other in the pool.
