Summer Summaries


Our Summer Summaries in 12-6-3-1  

We played a game as a family tonight.   For 3 minutes we wrote about our summers.  Whatever came to mind for 3 mintues.  It could be in sentences or just words.   But it had to be from the summer.   After 3 minutes we narrowed that writing down to just 12 words.  Then to 6.  Then to 3 and finally we boiled it down to its essence.   Just one word at the end.    Here's what we wrote.
