Pushing the pause button on life

Emma is out of school for the summer.  Hallelujah.  We decided to celebrate by picking her up from the bus stop and heading off for a long weekend camping trip to one of my favorite places on earth.  Four days of exploring, 4-wheeling with the grandparents, mountain biking, lazy reading, trail running, tent napping, playing with cousins, rock skipping, frisbee throwing, creek jumping and s'more making was just what this family needed. The whole no work, no computer and no phone usage was the cherry on top.  I see the need for many more of these trips this summer.  Simply rejuvenating.

And thank you, Dave, for pulling out the iPhone to capture a few of the coveted moments.  Once again, for some reason or another, my camera didn't even make it out of the car.
