this past week i had the joy of hanging out
with a girlfriend at fay bainbridge state park.
i had no idea this amazing little park ever existed,
and it was the MOST beautiful day... hello!
i am so thankful both for her friendship
AND for the amazing beauty of the northwest on a sunny day :)
and as i took my ferry back to the city,
i just couldn't help be be overwhelmed with thankfulness.
i love my life.
i love my friends.
God is SO good :)
in other news, this peach lemonade was amazing :)
and i'm not just saying that.
it was so very flavorful, and the best part was it can be both adult and kid friendly :)
great for an upcoming summer bbq or get together!
