“How are YOU?” “We’re fine” Gag me.

Life, in our own back yard
Keys to a fun day with a friend: It starts with new shorts and a smile, even at 7 a.m. Hydration is always key to a day of fun, especially when it comes in a pink cup. It helps to live in a state with beautiful places, and to have friends who love adventure. It can…
