Issue 58: Adventure

Days Are Getting Longer

A pre-summer photo diary.

Ori 06/02/2016
  • Over Memorial Day weekend, my family went camping at a lake. On the way, we ate lunch at a tiny diner at the airport for a small town. Afterwards, my father wanted to go look at the planes. The clouds were colossal that day.

  • My sister and her friends were obsessed with badminton the whole weekend.

  • Lilly brought her guitar.

  • Italian ice and french fries were the only vegan options at the lake snack bar, which was fine by me.

  • It was way too humid for May and the lake was packed.

  • Our little camp stove, used for coffee, breakfast potatoes, and not much else.

  • The diner we stopped at on our way back home.

  • It seemed like a set from a film.

  • The scene at the diner.

  • My sister and her friend.

  • We were all so exhausted.
