Our family was supposed to go on a camping trip with a large group of our friends this weekend. An outing that’s become a yearly tradition – only without us. We did go along once – in 2003 – but I’m told that doesn’t count, because we borrowed my folks’ camper, and thus escaped the true camping experience. What can I say? Growing up, I lived in campgrounds (& a huge army tent) every summer, and while I have fond memories of the time I spent with my family, camping just isn’t my thing – but friendship totally is! That is why I’m writing this totally random post tonight to wish my friends – and all of you – a fabulous Independence Day.

(This is what we do when left to our own devices…play in the backyard with sparklers, candles, and cameras on tripods). Happy 4th of July!
