Summer has always been my favorite season...sunshine, beach vacations, swimming, BBQ's, fireflies! For Maverick and I, we played in the pool for the first time, swang on swings for the first time, went on our family's boat for the first time, felt sand between our toes and the ocean's waves for the first time. We listened to the ocean in Florida and the crickets in Mt. Gretna. We cheered for the Orioles at Camden Yards, rolled in the grass and felt the warmth of the sunshine on our faces.
It was one of the simplest yet most exciting summers I can remember and while it had it's ups and downs and repetitive days, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world!
