[quote=SmootSmack;564042]There was nothing like finishing school and enjoying the summer nights playing baseball and catching fireflies (sometimes at the same time).

I told one of my interns last month to enjoy her summer vacation (she's a junior in college) because once you join the workforce there's really no such thing as summer vacation because all the seasons blend together...she looked at me like I just told her I ran over her dog. I thought she was going to start bawling.[/quote]

I saw a firefly while sitting on my deck the other night and my first instinct was to jump up and grab it LOL

Oh yeah. I used to catch as many as possible and put them in a mason jar on my dresser at night. So much fun.

Definitely one of the things I'm looking forward to with my 2 girls...

While it's nice to have the sun setting at 8:30p here locally, my poor daughter goes to bed at 8pm and I know it's gotta be hard on her to go to bed during day light.

Flashlight tag was always my favorite part of Summer when I was a kid.
