It's been a while since we've done a Q&A post, so we decided to give it a shot. This week's question is:
What do you miss most about being a kid during summer break?
Kimberly says: I miss summer days with my Grandpa. I spent a lot of time with him as a kid. I remember very distinctly the smell and feel of mornings at his house. (Freshly brewed coffee. ) We'd go on adventures and do crafts. It was paradise for a kid!
Jana says: I miss how valuable and precious summer used to be to me as a kid. School was out, and I had a few months of freedom. The sky wasn't even my limit, and I loved living every summer day like it was a gift I was given. :)
Jamie says: I miss endless pool days with my sister, eating ice pops all day long, bare feet, the ice cream truck coming around after dinner....I just really miss not having any structure. My sister and I had so much fun during summer break -- from playing games we made up when we were little to sunning ourselves and reading by the pool when we got a bit older.
Lori says: I miss how the summer just seemed endless. Each day seemed like an opportunity for something huge and exciting to happen. I also miss the summer reading program at the library. (Why don't they have those for adults?!) I miss going to the pool all day and not having to worry about the tab I was running up at the snack shack. Basically, I miss the freedom to just do.
Bridget says: I miss not hating the heat! I used to live for summer, like a lot of kids, but now I hate it. This could be due to the fact that I live far more south than I did when I was growing up (grew up in New York, currently live in North Carolina) and the heat here is just unbearable. I truly miss looking forward to summer rather than dreading it! Give me crisp fall weather any day and gtfo with your heat and humidity!
Daisy says: I miss having the whole summer off and just getting to spend it having fun and being lazy! No responsibilities and not having to figure out what to have for dinner or actually make said dinner. All those endless days in the sun, swimming and reading piles of books were amazing!
Lauren says: I miss hanging out with my grandparents and following them around all day. I miss running through the sunflowers that were taller than me, chasing butterflies, picking up baby birds that have fallen out of their nest and putting them back. Out of all of the memories I can sweep up, I miss sitting on the swing with my grandma. We'd talk about anything and everything, or we'd just swing and enjoy the country life. Oh... and I miss running around barefoot. :)
Julia says: Reading all your answers. I agree with with them all. I'm so nostalgic for summer!

There you have it...What do you miss about being a kid during the summer?
I miss having the time off and just playing outside, going to the pool, everything. I'm with Bridget - now I really don't like hot weather. I feel like as an adult I don't even really think about summer that much - it doesn't feel special like it used to!
ReplyDeleteI miss having nothing to do. I spent a lot of time outside, playing with my friends or riding my bike. Now I have responsibilities that don’t take summer breaks.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I am pleased to visit and read the article above, ... I hope you also visit my website and read my article also, thank you
ReplyDeleteWhat Jamie said about unstructured time! These days summer is really no different from any other time of year because work is all the time. Also @Lori: I'm a librarian and my library does have adult summer reading! Maybe it will catch on and libraries everywhere will starting doing it! :)
ReplyDeleteLori, I totally agree! Summer seemed to last forever when we were younger.
ReplyDeleteI miss my ability to do nothing for an extended amount of time, without worrying that I am not being productive...
