Summertime Memories

What were summers like when you were a kid? 

I remember long, hot days spent having picnics outside, building elaborate sandcastles at the beach then wading into the water to cool off with a game of marco polo, finding friends to go outside for a neighborhood game of tag, exploring walks searching for crayfish, flying kites, getting down on hands and knees to examine a caterpillar, and finding buttercups to hold under our chins to see if we liked butter! 

How much is too much?

How much is too much?? As I run from one hockey arena to another all winter long I sometimes wonder what this is all for………….but I wouldn't change it for the world!!
