SUMMERTIME is HERE

First camping trip..Table Rock State Park,S.C.








School is out for the Summer,Now that means it is time to bring on some summer fun and the sunshine!! It is time for all things fun!! The lake,swimming,suntanning,short wearing,flip flops wait I wear those all year long..and not to mention going barefooted...The picnics and cookouts,campfires, S'mores,Icee stands,fresh garden vegetables,watermelons,camping and the beach. And yes,Even the summer sounds of the crickets,frogs,early birds singing and that awesome sound of the whip-poor-will usually close to your bedroom window.. The neighborhood ice cream truck with the never ending nursery rhyme music. The on again off again light of the fireflies and catching them and putting them in a jar to look at till you fall asleep..Just the smells of summer, they bring out a sense of newness.                                                                         
I love the fact of not having a place that I really need to be.I love the fact of having all my little (Kid-O'S) together all to myself for the next couple of weeks.And waking up each morning wondering what fun thing will take place.The fun stuff that brings on the opportunity to relax in a way that you normally would not do.A perfect time to just chill out and be LAZY!!!I plan on keeping it (Summer) simple slowing down and enjoying spending more time with family and friends taking the time to breath, and relax and taking the time to renew the time that was lost during the previous months..JUNE,JULY, and for the most part AUGUST are mine again and together we will do it all..We will take each day as it comes ,waking up to see what kind of SUMMER memory can be made..Summers are the four half empty Mosquito repellent bottles under our bathroom sink,because each June,we cant remember whether we are out...Stop scheduling, slow down and take each Summer day as they come and enjoy the magic of Summer.. The magic of Summer is in the air and my family and I are soaking up every second of it....
