What Summer's all about

A few weeks ago we went to a movie at one of the local wineries in Woodinville.  They show kids movies about once a month.  It's very informal.  Show up, bring dinner, bring a blanket to lay on the floor and they show the movie on a wall.  The place has a big back yard where the kids can run around.  I keep thinking about this evening.  Kids outside playing on a summer evening.  Trying to move logs to make a bridge over a stream.  Working together.  Coming out later to see that someone changed what they did.  Trying to fix it, thinking their way was the right way.  Getting wet.  Playing with other kids. Being outside.  Having no responsibilities.  Just being a kid.  Something about this evening and this simple activity really stuck with me.  It wasn't a fancy video game or something that cost money.  Just water, logs, kids and summer.
