We usually spent the time at the cottage but we would return to town once or twice a week to pick up supplies. I would rush to the library and stock up on books, then convince Mom to buy at least 1 or 2 to hold me over because I was going through about one a day. I miss those days, sitting outside in the sunshine or inside when it rained and losing myself in some imaginary world.Kelly Boycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459592836145655997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-86217950094861114582007-05-16T15:36:00.000-06:002007-05-16T15:36:00.000-06:00Melissa, this is wonderful news!

Summer vacations for kids should be filled with carefree memories.<BR/><BR/>A few of my favorites are playing in the creek with my siblings, building a tree fort that never did amount to much, dipping rhubarb sticks into a sugar bowl in the back yard.... there are so many. I hope you all have a wonderful summer!Holly Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336717023482533615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-82894245014137816012007-05-15T10:13:00.000-06:002007-05-15T10:13:00.000-06:00Hmm, well, bbqs with my dad - he'd start up that o...Hmm, well, bbqs with my dad - he'd start up that old Hibachi after coming home from playing golf, then do hamburgers for us all. My mum would make them and he'd put his special sauce on, then put them on the grill.<BR/><BR/>Also, spending afternoons at the neighbourhood pool, oggling the lifeguards and hanging out with my friends.<BR/><BR/>Finally, playing hide and seek up and down the street at dusk in the warm summer air. Heaven.<BR/><BR/>Glad you found such a wonderful solution for your summer child care :)Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636189059910920978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-27665098332959104322007-05-15T09:39:00.000-06:002007-05-15T09:39:00.000-06:00Summer vacation.

I love the sun, the warmth, snow cones, visiting with friends and family on a porch.Diana Celeskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235614199276857320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-62495482289641203932007-05-15T09:36:00.000-06:002007-05-15T09:36:00.000-06:00summer vacation...going to the lake, and meeting c...summer vacation...going to the lake, and meeting cute boys lol. Now summer vacation is just finding the right time to go out fishing. I was lucky I never had to work until after I was done highschool. But I know what you mean about the kids at babysitters. You have it al planned out, good for you. I always liked telling them they need a break from us instead of the other way around.Young Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117844320148741884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-82635201063194319842007-05-15T08:43:00.000-06:002007-05-15T08:43:00.000-06:00We tried to go swimming and Mom even got us privat...We tried to go swimming and Mom even got us private lessons. I still was too terrified to dunk my head under water, so I never learned how to swim. But I hope to get my daughter into swim lessons this summer since she loves the water.Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-6186954387637297762007-05-15T08:36:00.000-06:002007-05-15T08:36:00.000-06:00I think I read nonstop during summer vacation!When...I think I read nonstop during summer vacation!<BR/><BR/>When I was young, we'd go to the city pool a lot. Then I worked there when I was older. So lots and lots of swimming.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you guys found a solution. :)Anissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773384041569563564noreply@blogger.com
