Best Summer Memory

When I drive home from work there's a great talk show on the radio that I listen to. They have a topic and people call in and give their opinion, tell their story, comment on what someone else says, I really love to listen.

Tonight the host asked people to call in with their favorite summer memory. For the time I was listening it seemed like everyone's best summer memory was when they were kids and I'd have to say that for me too. People were talking about going to drive-in movies, camp outs, bbq's, cooling off by the fire hydrants, beach houses, lake houses, so many great summer memories.

I have had great summers as an adult, but nothing can compare to when I was a kid. The summers seemed endless until about the last 2 weeks of August when you knew you had to go back to school. Other than that, summer was magic. And you felt it. Remembering just that feeling you had from your head, right down to your toes...that might be the best summer memory.

I just got lucky a few years back taking these pictures of my nephew. Right place, right time. I call them the blue bucket pictures and I think if any of my family is reading, they are already smiling thinking of these pictures. I even have a few of them framed and hanging on my living room wall but I really looked at them again today while I was posting and he's got that summer magical feeling going on. He's just happy, not a thought other than being happy. Hope they make you happy too!!!
