Dear Ellie,
I always feel wistful in August because I know that summer
is quietly fading away.
When you
look back as an adult, I want you to think fondly of the summer when you were
4. I created a list of what I
thought would generate the most memories for you.
Final Thoughts: I hope
the following words make you reminisce about the warm months of 2014 (when you
practically lived outside and the only care in the world was wearing
comfortable clothes to get dirty in).
While playing at home, this is our top ten list of how we
kept busy:
1.
Sidewalk Chalk
2.
Bubbles
3.
Wading pool
4.
Slip-n-Slide
5.
Neighborhood Ice Cream Truck (that came on
Monday nights)
6.
Big Kid Bike with Training Wheels
7.
Neighborhood Kids
8.
Popsicles
9.
BBQ’s
10. Frog
Family (in the window well)
And the memories we made outside of our house were just as
fun and priceless:
1.
Daddy’s Baseball Games
2.
Spikes Games and Fireworks
3.
Philly Family Weekend in State College
4.
Pittsburgh Trip
5.
Grandparents' Visits
6.
Days with Mimi
7.
Green Bay Trip (and being a flower girl in your cousin's wedding)
8.
Welch pool
9.
Reptiland
10. Vacation
Bible School
11. Parks
and Sandboxes
12. The
Arboretum (and the new children’s section)
13. Arts
Fest and People’s Choice
14. Ice
Cream Stores (Sweet Frog, Meyers, the Creamery)
15. Winery
Walks
Aside from our plane tickets to Green Bay, nothing on either
list cost a whole lot of money proving yet again, that we create our happiness
and entertainment with what we have available (and our time is always more
enjoyable with the company of our family and friends).
I love you Ellie and I’m anxious to see what fall will
bring.
L,
Mom
