Celebrating the 4th on the 3rd

Emily is connected at the hip with four other girls from her Sporting soccer team.  They ran and worked out together during the entire lockdown and as their parents, we have all commented that their mental health really benefited from the exercise and the contact over three long months of distance learning and forced separation from their teammates and other friends.  The girls continue to see each other almost every day and over the long holiday weekend, we were all invited to spend some time at Jules' lake house.  Because we've been a pod for months, it was a no brainer and the girls spent the day swimming, tubing and just chilling in the lake while the parents did much of the same.  It was a really awesome day and I am just so grateful that Emily has this friendship.

We took the boat out to a rock outcropping and everyone (even me) climbed the rocks and jumped into the water. 

Great group of people right here.
