The Summer of 10 is blue hair, finding friends at a music festival, a piano recital, first time horse-back ride, long hikes with joy, Creativity Camp, week-long sleep-away camp, speaking in front of the church, jumping off the diving board, moving to Level V in swimming lessons, walking across campus on your own, learning dragon language, trying new foods...
The Summer of 10 is going down Sliding Rock even when your sister doesn't want to; trying your hand at paddling the kayak by yourself; coming into your own person, separate from your big sister; finding out who you are, what you can do...
The Summer of 10 is a new confidence, a new independence, a new way of carrying yourself.
The Summer you are 10 :: a beautiful memory (I hope for you it is--I know it will be for me).
So well said. What a treat it is for us to be a part of her life.
