Being so close to the beach I agree with every one... except... I hate seagulls! When I was a kid, it was fireflies. We don't have them in Florida, but I still remember going out in the evenings and catching them in a jar. Great list. Being so close to the beach I agree with every one… except… I hate seagulls!

Unless, of course, you are in my house, where Tim keeps the a/c down in the 60's! LOL! @Dapoppins: Mm, fresh fruit! I love the laid-back schedule too! :-) @Tena: Yes, I remember those days of, "Mommy, I'm boorrreddddd!" Hang in there! @Tammy: How could I forget the smell of fresh cut grass?! It always reminds me of my grandparents' house when I was little... Good one! @jojo: Great response! Two of my kids darken up instantly as well. (They must have more Italian blood in them than my other two!) @Half-Past Kissin' Time: Amen, Sister! :-) @Robin: Thank you so much for sharing the things you like about summer! Wonderful! @Kelly Klepfer: I miss having a clothesline for just that reason! Great list! @ender: Great list, but no skateboarding for you for a while! *wink*

Fire works. Sheets dried on the clothesline Waking up to the sound of birds. Sleeping with the windows open. Family vacations. The car trips. Really. The fighting, the whining, the captivity where we are all forced to be in one place without distraction. On straight stretches I even read outloud. Fruit Tomatoes Salad Fresh cut grass.

Sleeping with the windows open.
Family vacations. The car trips. Really. The fighting, the whining, the captivity where we are all forced to be in one place without distraction. On straight stretches I even read outloud.

Watching the humming birds and butterflies. Swinging on the porch with my family. Going barefoot and also wearing sandals outside. Enjoy the green grass, shrubs, flowers and leaves on the trees. Trips to the park & having a picnic there with the whole family. Watching my kids play outside & having fun. The beauty of nature, watching the cats and dog have fun outside. Going to summer picnics & watching the kids ride on the rides. Taking walks and enjoying the fresh air outside. Eating ice cream and just thankful to be alive each day of the year. :-) I love the smell of the flowers on our momosa tree. Watching the humming birds and butterflies.

Their hair gets lighter and the older two brown up like a beautiful doll. The exuberance of a new experience and the way they revel in it. the sunkissed look my children get.
