We made friends with some sweet people by the pool today. I have such happy memories of making Summer friends on vacations when I was a kid. We had a Coleman pop up camper. We were a pretty big deal...in my mind. Mom and Dad slept on one side, my brother slept on the other and I slept on the bed that was made from using the dinner table and seat cushions. We hit campgrounds up and down the East Coast, playing Uno and Rummy and eating delights fresh from the ocean. We had one campsite near the beach in North Carolina. A nice family with British parents and children who had been born in the states but had absorbed some of their parents' dialect were next to us. After we ate dinner, the parents would sit at one family's table and the kids would sit at the other. We played games and built sand castles while the grown ups would visit and snack and exchange stories. Those were some of the best days in my quickly fading memory files.
The kids made friends in the pool. S's new friend was attracted to the necklace she had woven while G and her friend worked on their underwater handstand technique. The boy and his friend talked smack about who had the best cannonball form. It takes all kinds for sure. Sweet Summer memories that will never be forgotten. Loving every second of the memory making.
