Swimming by Day, Games by Night, These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

Many of my favorite memories (both child & adulthood) involve summer activities, holidays, and vacations. I remember catching fireflies and eating Popsicles on hot summer nights. Summer vacations always involved road trips and hours of the ABC game or license plate game. Bedtimes were pretty much nonexistent and playing in sprinklers was a must.

Jack and Davis are making their own summer memories and adding to mine by having water gun fights, doing cannon balls into the pool, Jack likes to run around without his shirt or unbuttoned (which makes me think of old men wearing black socks with shorts), helping grill dinner, day trips to explore Texas and always wanting to play outside. Our summer trip this year is going to be spent in Missouri visiting family and going to Iowa for the state fair. We will be traveling by car to Iowa, so I am sure we can squeeze in a few games. I wish Andy was here this summer to add to our memories, but will look forward to next summer and all the new memories we will create together.
