Oh glorious summer...welcome back...

Oh how I miss those days of my childhood when all there was to do was swim, suck on popsicles and wait for the sun to go down to catch fireflies and sit by the campfire and roast wieners and marshmallows. I remember swimming all day... making sand castles, covering my entire body with mud then jumping back in the water and feeling how soft my skin would feel afterwards. I remember boat rides, fishing, and ghost stories. I remember hanging out at the arcade at Wilderness Park and attending bluegrass festivals. I remember drinking pop shoppe pop by the case and playing tag with all the kids in the campsite. I remember "Six Pack Lane" at Carol's Campsite and all the friends I made there. I remember running the chip stand and pretending I was older than my 13 years since it was against the law to work that young... I remember long walks in the woods, and going to the drive in with Rerun, and Evan and Belinda and Lynne. I do miss those days, however I suppose the time has come to make new memories. Those summers were the best of times though, and I never will forget them. I'll carry them in my heart forever. Oh glorious summer, welcome back...:o)
