It's in the staying up past bedtime, then falling asleep on the long ride home.
It's in the wear anything you find in the back of the car when you need a second outfit from beach days or ice cream spills...
It's in the smiles and easy yes's and barely any no's.
It's in the humidity like a hug of warmth and moist toddler kiss.
It's in the orange moon rising over the trees.
It's in a five year old talking for the hour and a half ride home from a day soaked in family and love and lobster salad.
It's August. And it's summer. And we are soaking it in, with every breath we take and moment we spend.
linking up over at Brook's today... will you join us?
Precious moments of summer :)
