Monster Tromp

Everyone is outside enjoying the warm summer evening. Maurin and Severin are jumping on the trampoline with water and soap. Dad, Clayton, Jordyn, Janelle's kids, and Sylvia are dipping circles of yarn in a bucket of soap water and then pulling them out and running with them, creating huge soap bubbles. Janelle is sitting in the grass taking pictures of it all. Manning does his monster tromp over to his mother and pats her on the shoulder, she turns her camera to him and he gives her a cheesy smile. Sterling and Dallin are sitting on the couch next to me--serenading. Sterling is playing the guitar and singing while Dallin sings along quietly.  I look out the window again, Bruce is rolling in the cool, green grass. The sound of house fans is mixed with the shrill of laughter. I love summer. I love my family. I love life.
