What summer is all about

Matt had his usual Tuesday off today and neither of us had to go anywhere this evening. It was wonderful, and it represented what summer is all about to me:

smores and going to bed with the smell of smoke in your hair

(I make my kids wash their disgusting feet or else they will have nightmares. The rest of their body has to wait until morning because 9:30 is too late to get in the tub!)

perfect evening weather for a walk or just chilling in the yard

bare feet and maybe a mosquito

getting your appendages buried in cool sand

enjoying your family and the perfect evening weather

of course the tramp and the feeling of youth, for those of us older, the feeling of a horrible headache and the need to run to the bathroom

being with family and watching your kids run like wild children

It was a perfect summer evening.
