This year was one of my favorite 4th of Julys. I took off work Thursday and Friday so we had an extra long weekend.

My office was closed on Friday, but I decided to take Thursday off as well and spend some one on one time with Ben. We went and saw Inside Out followed by a little lunch date. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, you’ve got to go pronto. Such a funny idea, but also a great message. After almost a full week of rain, we woke up to lots of sunshine on Friday. We went to our beach club and both boys…
