So when we were in Ohio, we headed up to the lake to listen to the Gatlin concert. It was a perfect August day up there. And Gatlin did not disappoint. They played over four hours and all types of music. The boy tasted his first grape soda and was pleased. His new favorite soda …
I’m not gonna lie. Something about hot summer days on the beach leads directly to ice cream nights. The last couple of days has resulted in a lot of boogie boarding. And the boy is getting much better at it. There has been plenty of paddle board and footballs getting tossed around too. The good …
