Flashback Friday: Yearning for Summertime

I almost remember what it's like to be warm more often than not. Today is June 5th. As in, the same month wherein begins Summer. As in, two weeks SINCE Memorial Day weekend. As in, I have the heat on and I'm wearing sweats today. And it snowed in the mountains. What the...? Yup. It is our second cold rainy day today so I had to turn the heat up. Last night Zoe slept in her winter pj's with the space heater on. Did I mention it's June 5th?

To help me remember warmer days, here are some great summer-time activities from, literally, warmer days:

Gearing up for a trip to the lake/river/pool/whatever with buddies.
Buddies include: Ben, April, LaDonna, Lindsay Abel, and James.

Here's one from the same trip, but this shot also includes Steve, LaDonna's face, and three of her younger siblings - Jay, Codey, and Julia (correct us if we're wrong)


And nothing says "Summer" like a dozen half-naked Italian boys jumping into a dangerously shallow river. Am I right?

Well, maybe nothing except a picture of me doing the same thing.

Now, say it with me, "It WILL get warm, it WILL get warm, it WILL get warm..."
