Summer vacation, feat. Oscar. Rain and sun. Laughter and bickering. Reading and kayaking. We just floated along (mostly) enjoying each other’s company. Notable moments: Lily’s constant attempt to prank people that only get eye rolls from her supposed targets “mom and I saw bill gates in the parking lot at the store”, Margaret’s new found antagonism towards deer and all their ilk, an Arrested Development marathon in the evenings, a Taylor Swift musical retrospective, a fake floating swan that Alice thought was real for several days, baby deer that only invited Margaret’s disdain, watching a bald eagle fly in front of us, which even impressed the deer hater. Quiet mornings as everyone but me and Oscar slept in. I really didn’t take a lot of pictures but I have so many mental snapshots I’m taking with me. As Taylor says “hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.” ❤️
