Summer reminisces
What fun things did you do as a child during the summer? I remember summer days running through the sprinkler in the back yard. It was enough. To be with my friends, screaming and running through the cold water. I liked the 4th of July barbecues with neighbors and friends and making home made ice cream in the maker with the crank handle, not an electric maker. Catching frogs down at the pond. Yes I helped my brothers catch frogs when I was a kid. I think my brothers single handedly removed every frog from the pond down the street because to this day, you never here they croaking at night. We used to feed the raccoon that came around. His name was Bandit. He would sit outside patiently till you brought him an egg. We would sit outside till well after dark playing through the woods. The best hide and seek was in the woods after dark. We never worried about anything. We had a childhood and we loved it. We were lucky, very lucky and happy
