Summer 2018 wouldn’t be the same without a beach day in York. We don’t know how the summer will go- how busy Bren’s theater schedule or any of our schedules will be. So the first nice day we could, we took advantage of the perfect weather and went to our favorite place. I love that we have this family tradition. But between this trip and the end of school the realization of how old the kids are getting is really setting in.

I read an article about how parents have 18 summers,18 years of memories. I’d like to think beyond high school they will still want to keep some family traditions alive. But really looking at Aidan, 18 summer is only 5 more. Ug. I love our summer memories, I love when the kids talk about things we “always do.” I hope they love it as much as we have.
