Top of the Summer

I love summer; the heat, swimming, ball games, playing outside, getting dirty in the garden, fresh produce, mowing...

Memories were made.
Giggles were heard.
Dirt was abundant.
It was all good!

In no specific order 10 of my favorite summer memories...

1. This little girls expression when I told her it was finally time to swim!
   
2. Baseball. We were busy with games 4 nights a week, but I loved every minute of it.
   
3. Both of my boys going to over night camp for the first time ever! We all survived and both boys are counting the days until they can go back.
   
4. Going to the zoo, 2 hours away, and realizing upon our arrival, my daughter didn't have shoes.
   
5. Celebrating a very special one year old birthday.
   
6. A bountiful garden.
   
7. Making over 500 ice cream cookie sandwiches for my husbands employees.
8. Making smores on a day that was so hot our chocolate melted before it hit the sandwich.
   
9. Going to the Omaha Zoo with my family to celebrate my parents 40th anniversary.
   
10. Weekly swimming parties in the pond.
    

So long summer.
We are looking forward to your return in 2011!
