Things you miss about summers...

[Spawn67]

What do you miss the most about summers when you were a kid?
I miss going to our pool that we would go to with my grandparents. Going on family vacations to ocean city, maryland. Since my birthday is in the summer I miss birthdays with my family and getting all those bad *** toys that we talk about on this site! Still have kept many of them to this day.
I could go on and on.

Playing outside all day long, running around in the woods, riding my bike through the trails we would make, swimming at the local pool, outdoor birthday parties, not wearing any shoes all summer long, playing in the water hose, climbing trees, fishing in the pond at the back of our property, riding on my grandfather's tractor, building tree houses in the woods. So much. I could probably go on and on.

My grandparents had a trailer in Lewes, Delaware. I spent most of the summer down there. The quaintest, sleepiest little beach town you can find. Those were golden years for sure.

Forgot to add when our ice cream man (Good Humor man as we used to call him) would come by almost daily. Not only did he have good candy but had baseball and movie/t.v. trading cards. Any movie/t.v show that came out 77-83 that had cards he had them. I still have kept many of those to this day as well! Though maybe there not worth that much money their sendimental value for me is priceless as it reminds me of those summers.
