Insta-Summer

I've done a terrible job of blogging about our summer post-California. I could blame it on a million things, but honestly it's just never on my mind. Maybe because I'm living with my parents....the one regular visitor to my blog. :) 

Summer was summer.

Filled with lots of fun. 

And here are all the Instagram pics to prove it.
