Still with the jumping? Well, yeah. After all, this is the first day of summer, and the longest day of the year. Who wouldn’t want to leap at the very thought? Especially with Sol Searching prodding people to jump like youre nine years old and just got out of school for the summer.
These photos were taken in Shrewsbury. Please check out our jump shots from Little Silver and Red Bank.
