We were very fortunate to have a summer vacation at our favorite place in the Poconos. While we lived there for well over a year, we only recently moved back to Philadelphia and didn’t expect to be back so soon – it was a pleasant surprise! We were so thankful for glorious weather (as usual, ten degrees or more cooler than the city), perfect lake temps, and our own private space to enjoy summer safely. It blows my mind to see how much they’ve grown at the lake, and how many core memories have been made here. You can see all of our Poconos memories here, and click through for more!

I bought these modern polka dot tubes so they’d have something new + fun for the summer, and they turned out to be perfect props for our photos! They barely put them down, and enjoyed coming up with their own “dock olympics” which we became judges for, naturally. My iPhone is now struggling to function after capturing photo and video for each of the challenges, lol. We had quite a few swimming days, but I only brought out my big camera for this day…they’re thankfully still willing to oblige me with a few posed shots. I’m wondering how long I’ve got until they realize they can say no…
