Lounge, With a Capital "L"

My boys and I spent the first week of June in Jamestown, New York where my parents live. We were blessed to have my sister, brothers, and sister-in-laws all there and we spent every moment enjoying each other's company.

What we primarily do when my immediate family gets together at my parent's house is basically lounge. L.O.U.N.G.E. We really take it easy. My mom and dad have a huge, green, glorious back porch and yard that we spend every waking minute in.

We eat.

We play games.

We have long conversations around camp fires. We constantly interrupt each other. We basically eat, drink, and be merry... and I couldn't ask for anything more.

My amazing sister-in-law is becoming quite the photographer, so many of the pictures (which are noted above and below) are hers. TK, Sawyer, and I got to spend a long weekend plus a few days there, and it was a lovely start to the summer with my favorite people in the world.
