Summer Showers Bring Sunflowers!!!!

Todayyy, Parker and I went to a sunflower field and attempted to take pictures. Lets just say next time we plan on going to a sunflower field, we're going to shower in bug spray! Mosquito's were all UP in the flowers so I said bump this and we moved on to just taking pictures in the middle of the dirt road which leads to the ginormous field of beautiful sunflowers, in which I LONG to see all year long because the sunflower is my favorite flower! Just looking at them makes me smile! I remember when I was small, planting sunflower seeds every year and measuring them and watching them grow taller than me! That was back in the day when I was carefree and would dig in the dirt find worms and play with them. GROSS! And now one of my worst fears is worms. The things we did as kids. Me and some of my neighbors had some wild imaginations. Our houses were in front of/ or behind a wooded area and we would go back there and play. There was a tire swing and we always made "soup" in a sand bucket which consisted of grass, water from the water hose, those green tall weeds that smell like onions and whatever else we could find, stirred it with a stick and tried to make people eat it. The times in my life where I would stay outside in the summertime until I heard mom yelling my name from across the neighborhood saying "Time to come home", chasing the popsicle man, catching lightening bugs in jars and having countless wrecks on my bike was PRICELESS. Those days were so easy. Then I grew up...and its a whole different world. I wish I could go back to when I was a kid!
