*Welcome to the FReeper Canteen*

Summertime Memories

Running through a lawn sprinkler getting soaked on a hot summer day

Endless games of hide 'n seek which went on as late as our neighborhood group could get away with and the parents called us home

Campfire Girl summer camp with the bugle wake-up call every morning

Hot dogs from the grill with lots of mustard

Cicadas singing all night long... the next morning their empty shells on the tree

A cold, sweet snow cone..with the inevitable dribbles on the chin

Swimming holes, creeks, and lakes.

Chiggers and fireflies lighting up the night

What are some of your favorite memories of summer?

[darkangel82]

to keep with the thread topic:
Camping with the Scouts
Baseball, both watching and playing(5 years of Little League) and ice cream at the Dairy Queen afterwards
and countless hours outside in the great weather

[AZamericonnie]

I’ll take that as a yes....lol!

Thanks for the vid.

You also reminded me....the one time I tried to sneak out my window I wound up setting on a yellow jacket. Sucker stang me proper!

Sometimes karma is instant! lol

[darkangel82]

Yes, we did that some at my grandmother’s ranch. We don’t
have fireflies out here. Too desert-y, I suppose. I love
them, though.

Good to see you, too, Connie!   Thanks for the nice thread today.

...and Thank You to ALL the fine men and women in our armed forces, for all that they do for us... every single day.

Howdy, Sissy!

I’ll bet you and all your sisters (and brothers?) had
wonderful summers together!

[TASMANIANRED]

Firefly jewelry..and headlights on Tonka trucks.

We had a slight hill in the back yard.

I was small enough to sit on the Tonka and ride it down the hill.

I think I weighed about 37 pounds when I started first grade.

Good evening Tas.

[Dust in the Wind]

When I was young the watermelon parties at the end of wheat harvest were a treasure with cousins.
Those same cousins and I would in our 20’s meet in a nearby dry playa where we could spend the hot nights drinking our favorite cool offs and watching the stars with absolutely no people lights on the horizon. Great times and great rockin memories. Watching the Peleides meteor showers to Yes or ELO or ??? 8^)

Thanks for the memory trigger here Connie and Sandrat

[TASMANIANRED]

We had enough to play keep away in the back yard.

Did you ever play swinging statues?

[luvie]

Does she actually ask for you by name? That would be scary!

[AZamericonnie]

Ouch.

[darkangel82]

Wow, 37? And I thought I was small back then lol.
