Summer time fun

Posted by Summer M

June 13, 2007 |

Home Mom reminded me that Summer is Coming. Not that I really needed a reminder, we are already sweating through the day. And the beautiful sounds of the ice cream truck are making their way through the streets. Not to mention that my once peaceful neighborhood is now buzzing with the sounds of kids out on vacation.

Summer vacation. What comes to mind when you hear those words? Swimming pools? Ice cream? Long car trips with the family? I always remember the summer that my best friend Becky and I painted rocks we found on the road with fingernail polish. We then set up a stand and sold the rocks as “good luck charms”. We made a total of $15, though I’m sure most of it was pity money, I mean, what kind of kids sell painted rocks on the side of the road and call them good luck charms?

Luckily there are still some bright kids left in the world. Kids who sell sensible things, like lemonade. Jen of Pancakes and Pinesol has some of those smart kids, and cute too! Check out her post Strawberries and Lemonade to see for yourself! Mmmmm, strawberries and lemonade. that actually sounds like a winning combination.

So what signs are you seeing that summer is coming? I’d love to hear what reminds you that the hot season is upon us. Blog your own summer-time post and let me know so I can come over and enjoy it.

    thanks for the mention. For me it is the sounds of the ice cream truck, water works and school getting out. Oh I so miss the fun days when I was a child, so much fun to be had and secrets to share.

    I think playing in the sprinklers and being completely wiped out from being in the sun all day. Now I get to experience it all over again through my kids.
