Growing up, it seemed summer was the time when our parents actually made money instead of spending it. That's because we were a great source of cheap (read: free) labor, especially since we could pick more strawberries than we could eat, would babysit siblings for an extra hour of television privileges and always mowed the lawn in exchange for a ride to the local swimming pool. Ah, the good old days!

Camp at Home Under the Stars
Some of my best memories growing up are of the nights my sister and I camped out in our backyard. There was something about seeing our yard and house from a different perspective that always gave me a little thrill. Of course, it helped that my parents were close by, as was the fridge and cookie cupboard, just in case our imaginations got the best of us.
