Those warm summer nights. As we were driving through one of the local villages tonight, I couldn't help but miss that neighborhood atmosphere and I could feel the nostalgia all around me. Driving down one of the side streets, we saw people out walking on the side walks, chatting with neighbors, kids playing and riding bikes, you could hear dogs barking and children laughing, and you could just smell summer in the warm soothing air. Then we came upon the number one icon of summer...the ice cream truck!! Instantaneously, that repetitive tune was again burned into my soul and I felt all the childhood memories flood back into my mind. With a smile on my face and a giggle in my heart, I continued home with my girls, wondering what their summer night memories would entail.
We don't have ice cream trucks in our neighborhood, but we do have bon fires, s'mores, ATV rides, and all the fireflies you can catch! I think we'll grab some ice cream bars from the freezer and head outside to play in what is left of the sunlight.
Happy Summer Everyone!
