My bestest summer memory was . . .
After dropping the kids off my first order of business is to take the dog on a long enough walk to make sure he does his business.
Today as we were traveling along the gravel road a few blocks behind our house, I pondered this week’s Finish the Sentence Friday prompt:
My best summertime memory this year was . . .
Gosh. The best memory. That implies one. Narrowing down all the great things to one single thing.
And one thing did keep popping up.
. . . the week I took my youngest on the road to Central Florida while his sister was at camp. And our oldest worked. Like there was a chance he would come anyway?
We went to the beach.
A few intensive rounds of golf.
Lots of selfies.
Eating french fries every day for lunch if I felt like it.
When I came to that conclusion this morning I felt guilty. Why wasn’t it a memory associated with all my children? Or my husband?
Anyway I sliced the summer fun, that’s the memory that brought a smile to my mind.
It was carefree. I was allowed to be silly with a 10 year old in tow. There were no responsibilities and we didn’t spend that much money because we were staying with my mother.
It was before our renovation had started. It was the end of June which mean there was still so much more of summer freedom ahead.
It was an escape.
That made it wonderful.
What about you? “My best summertime memory this year was . . .”
Truly sounded wonderful. The carefree part alone sounded like bliss. Thank you so much for sharing and linking up with us again Jamie!!! 🙂
Sounds perfectly wonderful and NOT selfish at all! I love the selfie photos, too 🙂
Fantastic photos. I loved your logic behind why that particular experience was your favorite- that makes so much sense. And also, my favorite vacation practice is eating french fries daily. Just sayin’.
What a great memory though! I always worry I don’t spend enough time 1 on 1 with both of my kids. We do lots of things all together but 1 on 1 is so special. Bet your son will list it as a favorite memory, too!
