Remembering Summer

As fall settles in here in Utah I find myself thinking backwards to summer and many of the wonderful times we shared with our family. The following are just a few of the photos of scenes we really enjoyed while visiting with our children and grandchildren. Forgive my very bad poetry, but I've used the lyrics to a well know children's song, which my grandchildren will enjoy (nonsensical grandma).

Oh what do you do in the summertime?

Oh what do you do in the summertime to hear your grandchild sigh?
Do you bring her a pet - one that won't wet?
If that's what you do, so do I?
Oh what do you do in the summertime when time just seems to fly?
Do you sit by a pool -  sipping pop to keep cool?
 If that's what you do so do I.
Oh what do you do in the summertime when flowers grow so high?
Do you count each one - just for fun?
If that's what you do so do I.
Oh what do you do in the summertime when clouds are flying by?
Do you sit on the ground - blowing bubbles around?
If that's what you do so do I.
Oh what do you do in the summertime when the sun is hot up high?
Do you go looking for rocks - in a cooling spot? If that's what you do so do I.
Oh what do you do in the summertime when there's nothing but blue in the sky?
Do you play in the pool - to keep yourself cool.
If that's what you do so do I!
