Some folks see summer as a time to cram in all the activities that can possibly be done while the sun still shines. Trips (erroneously labeled "vacations") from which you usually return more tired than when you left (and you still have to unpack), picnics at the beach (and WHO is it, MOM, that usually does all the prep work, the cooking, the packing, don't forget the sunblock and bugspray...), fairs to attend (walking for miles - don't forget that part), kids to herd (there's more daylight in which to be outdoors -"Do we HAFTA come in now?" - don't forget that part), bedding to air (because after all, the sun IS shining), the list is as long as your worn out arms.
But there is hope. Witness Lee. Now here is a kid, who truly knows how to get the most out of a sunny summer day. Peace. Calm. Communing with nature. Soakin' up the rays. Recharging the batteries for those long winter sunless days.
It probably should be mentioned, that he was also suffering from a "bug" which has been making its way through the ranks. The Fourth of July happened to be Lee's turn. So he was banned from swimming, and most of the other activities of the kid herd.
He was a good sport.
