Kids Reveal What Summer Means to Them

When we think back on our own childhoods, what do we remember most? School, a few holidays, the family pet, and summer.

We remember pools, beaches, road trips, lazy days, and sleeping in. We remember ice cream trucks, playing until the street lights came on, sleepovers, and summer camp. We remember cookouts, playing in the sprinklers, the smell of fresh cut grass, and the incredible freedom and possibility of youth.

If ever a season belonged to children, it was summer, so I asked the BestMomsTV audience to share their kids’ take on summer; this is what they said.
