Hot, sticky days with thick humidity;
Cold, sticky, little hands with ice cream dripping down from finger to wrist;
The smell of sweaty little kids who desperately need a bath before Sunday;
The smell of alcohol laden sunscreen that springs forth memories of my own youth;
The taste of pina-colada flavored smoothies, homemade orange-pineapple ice cream;
The smell of grilled veggies, perfectly cooked steaks, and strawberry-kiwi lemonade;
The feel of cold pool water hitting you as you enter for the first time;
The surprise of water splashed in your face by cute little girls who can't help but giggle;
Time;
Time for love, time for vacation, time for fun, time for family;
The fresh sting of sun-kissed skin;
The fresh feel of a pressed white linen shirt;
An early sunrise, a late sunset;
Summer. Ahhhhhhh, summer!!
