I told one of my interns last month to enjoy her summer vacation (she's a junior in college) because once you join the workforce there's really no such thing as summer vacation because all the seasons blend together...she looked at me like I just told her I ran over her dog. I thought she was going to start bawling.

I saw a firefly while sitting on my deck the other night and my first instinct was to jump up and grab it LOL

Oh yeah. I used to catch as many as possible and put them in a mason jar on my dresser at night. So much fun.

I have 3 little kids and that is one of the things that bring a smile to my face. Watching them run around and try to catch those things is priceless.

Definitely one of the things I'm looking forward to with my 2 girls...

While it's nice to have the sun setting at 8:30p here locally, my poor daughter goes to bed at 8pm and I know it's gotta be hard on her to go to bed during day light.

Man, speaking of crickets... TREE FROGS, best thing to sleep to ever.

Flashlight tag was always my favorite part of Summer when I was a kid.
