Summer

I love summer. I love the warmth, the sun hitting your face. I love the smell coming off the mountain in the summer. I love the breeze at night. I love the casual schedule. I love chubby feet that are dirty from running in the grass. I love sunburned cheeks, evidence of a fun day. I love the accumulation of Creamie and other Popsicle wrappers and sticks on the ground. I love watching my kids play with each other all day. I love seeing the three amigos smashed like sardines on the top bunk every night because they want to sleep together. Summer is when there is time for battles with dragons, knights, forts, light-saber battles and late night ice cream treats. I love it.
