Wild Beasts

Have you ever noticed that ten minutes before bed the energy level of a child skyrockets. This burst of energy is always in inverse proportion to the parent who is desperately ready to go to bed. One of the parts I enjoy best about summer is this...the run up the hill to the stop sign. This is a nightly event at my house in the summer. We bathe. We put on pajamas. We brush our teeth. We put on our sandals or slippers. We go outside and run up the hill to the stop sign and back. Our neighborhood has lovely sidewalks and we put them to good use.
