Love it! I love the rhythm of the whole piece, and the symmetry of the paragraphs, with each one starting with "The kids". I also love the images portrayed as you describe the kids' actions and their surroundings:)

A beautiful ode!

And that you memorialized the magic of their summer is a gift to the future selves of the five children who will someday be very eager and grateful to read what you wrote.

Awwwww thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I was going to ask why ‘five children’ but I see it on the part about the movie.

Truth is, they are more than 5, but only so many could fit on the couch and not the whole crew watched the movie 🍿😂😂
