Summer is…
- Splashes and giggles at the pool
- Not caring whose sunglasses you grabbed out of the pool bag
- Hide-n-seek outside after dinner when the sun shines low through the trees
- The kids singing at the top of their lungs
- Their sun-kissed cheeks smiling ear-to-ear
- The permanent smell of sunscreen as I kiss little heads goodnight
- Sleeping in and nowhere to rush off to
- Ice cream breaks
- Bare little piggies wiggling in the sand
- Coppertone-tan backsides in the bathtub
- Front-porch picnic lunches
- New freckles popping out to say hello
- Spontaneous trips to The Big City to visit cousins and swim in their new pool
- Diet Cherry Lime-ades at Sonic
- Windows open and fans on
- Trips to the grocery store for poolside snacks
- Giant yawns only a full summers day can bring
- Time: to think • dream • pray • write
- Temporary tattoos
- People you love, loving all these things with you
What do you love about summer?
