Summer Time

I was just sitting here reminiscing of good old summer times back home, I'm sure we can all go back there as kids. Long summer nights when it stays light until 10-11pm and our parents were trying to convince us that it was bed time and tried to get us to sleep. The rule where you have to close everything during the day, windows, doors, blinds and then open everything up at night to cool the house down. Getting bored cause school was out and we had nothing to do but make up games such as frizbee tips, a game with weeds while weeding the garden, working out in the garage, or watching dad as he showed us how to clean something right "the first time". Fishing trips, and long car rides where "are we there yet" or "how much longer" started as soon as we pulled out of the driveway with a two day drive ahead of us. Drawing a line down the seats and telling your brother or sister that they can't cross it or your telling mom. If you were to drive next to us with your window down you could usually hear us shouting at the top of our lungs to good old "Neil" (Diamond that is).....ahh the good old days when we would eat freezies and drink slurpies, buble gum ice-cream and trying to get as much fun in, for the 2-3 months that we had. I sure do miss those times and can't wait to make new memories with all our kids to come. I wonder what songs we will play that they'll sing along with as we drive to visit family.......?
