Long days.
Wearing sandals and shorts.
Eating all our meals outdoors.
Sitting on our swing and watching the kids play for hours.
Watching the families of birds in our yards create life and watching the babies take flight for the first time out of the nest.
And more than anything, I love it that my kids adore being together and spending hours on end outside.
The possibilities are endless and imagination and play rule the roost. Ahhh- childhood!
Here they are looking for a new "pet" - digging for worms...
Though it was cool and windy this day, they bundled up in blankets and sat on the swing for nearly 3 hours straight. Swinging, coloring, reading books and just being together...
And right here, just might possibly be the best $100 I've ever spent. This trampoline has not gone a single day unused in the summer. It is the perfect size for them- not to big, not to small- just right...
I cherish these summer days, for they end far too quickly!

LOVE eating outside! And everything else you mentioned sounds lovely too!
You are so blessed.
What beautiful childhood memories you're helping them create! Precious youth.
Mine love being outside too, well two out of three do, and we've had a rare "cooler" summer here too so they've been out even more! Of course having the two puppies helps here, like your trampoline helps there ;)
Congrats on the upcoming addition!!
