Summer traditions

I measure my summer by the tail of the dog waging .A good summer is a water summer, a long summer. Hot enough to go into the wavy lake 24/7. Hot enough so even mum will go in the lake.

It has been a family tradition since I can remember. Mum and dad still have a friend who owns a beach house. It has everything from ping pong tables to darts and from darts to ping pong tables. Playing endless rounds of backgammon or last card is still fun when we are in the beach house, near the flowing sea.

Sometimes we take our chances of hitting the big waves on the surf board with the family while mum sits on the beach. We forage for crabs and find the big ones that my brother then takes back. We'd look in big rocks or just play in the cold but not too cold water with the blue boat. Either way it is always fun!!
