Summer time is always the best time of the year, because it is hot yet warm and there is no school. I’ve always love the summer, but that kind of changed over the years because it just isn’t the same.

There were a lot of games we would make up like: whooping mama, cops and robbers, behind the tree, mister fox, red light green light, and so many other games I cant remember.
