That was Aviemore

That was Aviemore.

Remember the sweet tune of the ice cream truck as it strode along the winding roads?

Remember the taste of the ice cream sliding down your throat?

That was Aviemore.

Remember the dark starry nights with the wind brusling the trees?

Remember the birds tweeting when your trying to have a sleep in with the pillows over your head?

That was Aviemore.

Remember the beautiful sight of the birds flying through the sparkling crystal waves?

Remember the feeling of the popping bubbles from the rock sinking into the deep blue?

That was Aviemore.

My Favourite Summer

That was summer

Remember the taste of the salty water when the waves crashed over me?

Remember when my cousins were fighting on the biscuit and Layton fell off into freezing cold water?

That was summer.

Remember the time that my little sister stole my brother’s chocolate and started eating it?

Remember when my cousin did a forward flip onto the house and broke his neck?

That was summer.

Remember the smell of the flowers blooming in your Nana’s garden?

Do you remember the family just sitting down and ripping the presents open, making lots of noise?

That was summer.

Having Fun in Summer

Remember the chilly water running down the knee board 

as my brother zoomed post at the lakes.

Remember golden sand on your feet 

when we ran around at the wide crowded beach?

That was summer.

Remember nagging Dad to put the pool up 

waiting for him to grab the pipe to get water to the pool? 

We watched as the water slowly filled up.

That was summer.

Remember the prickles in your feet at the picnic on the grass?

Do you remember sand squelching between your toes?

That was summer.

My Family's Summer

Remember the freezing ice cream under the delightful

strawberry and banana smoothie ?

Remember the cold fizzy, bubbling in my mouth

and down my throat?

That was summer.

Remember the ice cold water over a boiling hot body

in a pond as we walked in?

Remember when we went to the Rainbow Dairy and

got an ice-cream that dripped everywhere?

That was summer.

Remember the time we went swimming in the cold pond?  We felt like we were frozen.

Do you remember the boiling summer day when we

felt like we were being cooked?

That was summer.

That Was Summer

Remember the scorching hot sand burning my feet to crumbs ?

Remember the cold cold ice-cream slithering down my throat ?

That was summer.

Remember the wind blowing the air in the summer breeze?

Remember the time when we went to the town pool and Dan was dunking me?

That was summer.

Remember when we went to Queenstown and almost crashed on the luge?

Do you remember the family holiday when Mum and Dad were being embarrassing by singing funny songs and doing funny dances?

That was summer.
