Growing up in Florida there is this very familiar rightness about water and sand and bathingsuits and boats and heat and just generally being outside all day long and all the kids sleeping the whole way back in the backseat of the car.
I only spent four years of my childhood in FL, but I think because they were such formative, middle childhood years (6-10 yrs) that I just think of childhood the same way. Heat, humidity, living in bathing suits and boats, etc. Everytime we go to the lake I think about that and wish I could give my kids more time like that instead of just a week at the lake every summer.
Maria and Zoe are going to write to A and A. I promise. It is on the agenda for this week during "school".
