There’s nothing more simple or valuable than quality time spent between a dad and his little girl.

And there’s no place better to just soak up some love and appreciation of life and family ties than the sun-drenched Shrewsbury riverfront in Rumson.

It doesn’t cost a thing — just an outstretched hand, a heart and a stroll.

OK, a balloon and some cotton candy at St. George’s-by-the-River Episcopal Church’s Canterbury Fair down the street came first when this a slice of life was focused on back in June. Still, it’s a simple concept with no materialistic strings, just a little balloon anchor.

So, this unidentified pair made the perfect Simple Summer feature of the week just going about the business of enjoying each other’s company. Picture that.

Simple. See?
