Memories from my childhood...

This morning I came upstairs to find no children. After my initial feeling of panic, I peeked outside in the front yard to find them pestering a City of Everett worker. I ran downstairs to talk to them and found out they were going to have the fire hydrant running for a little while. The kids ran inside and threw on their swimsuits (just in case) and came back out in time to watch them start up the river of water running down our hill. They spent two hours laughing, wading, and playing in the water. It brought back so many memories from when I was a kid. I loved it!

At the end of the day we went to Mukilteo Lighthouse Beach Park. It was cold, cold, cold there. Really surprising considering it was 87 degrees at our house a few miles away. Another wonderful summer day...

Remember when they would fill up the street downtown for the fishing contest? I always looked forward to watching them do that.

Oh, yeah, do I remember that! I loved that time too. I remember trying like heck to catch a fish in there - never did. Did you? Remember the terrapin races?
