It's Summer Baby


The other day I was taking Matthew and Grace to the pool. Matthew kept saying that we wanted a freezey so I thought I would introduce both of them to one of my favorite summertime memories - Slurpees. It had been so long since I myself had a slurpee. So I took them into the 7-11 and they both got one. Matthew got green (everything has to be green) and Grace got Chrry (my all time favorite). I took a sip of Grace's cherry and in that moment it brought back a bunch of memories. We use to get slurpees on the way home from the beach, my Mom would always buy them for us when we were sick, my Dad would always buy them when he wanted us to be quiet in the car when we would drive looking at houses or in drive in the country. A slurpee makes everything better... even when your older ... you just need the sugar free.
