nothing better than kicking back on the bench with a cold Sierra Nevada and watching the kids run through the sprinkler...what a fine atlanta pass time

The best thing about this past summer was learning to play the banjo and pretending I was like Scott. My best friend plays guitar, she of course, was Seth, and we learned as many Avett songs as we could . I introduced her to the Avetts this year, and they have increasingly defined our lives. At least for 2009. I attribute all my banjo skills to their songs because those were the ones I started with. My fondest memory of this summer was my friend and I playing SSS and Die die die in the parking lot at the mall one July day just enjoying life.
It is hard not to enjoy life while listening to Avett music.

To trust. To hope. To care.

A definite highlight of my summer was going to my first Avett Brothers concert! As a longtime lover of the brothers, I was stoked to go to the concert with my two best girlfriends. We fixed our hair, put on our make up, dressed to impress, and studied & memorized almost all of the songs (which wasn't hard because they are always on repeat, we knew half of them anyways, and the lyrics are amazingly addictive)..and then we went to the show! It was extraordinary! Although we wished we could've jump up on stage with the band, the night was more then we could ask for. We sang our hearts out, danced with the music, and then partied like rock stars until 6 a.m. We were happy to be enjoying music, love, and friendship. It's the simply things in life that truly matter! Oh, how i miss those summer nights with the Avett Brothers that made me feel so alive!

surfing with my Dad.

The past few summers have been spent loading up the car and heading out of Orlando and just driving up the east coast until we find a spot worth stopping. Windows down, music loud, and a fresh pack of smokes always makes for a good drive.

Well, most summers I would say camping, but last summer it was following TAB for the Colorado, Salt Lake, Boise, and Seattle shows!

This past summer a little fox visited our yard almost every night and I would sit on the swing in the front yard watching and waiting for it. Around dusk there it would be, somethimes coming very close to where I sat. Only problem was that in Georgia the mosquitos were also out that time of evening. But fighting off the bugs was well worth the love I had for that little wild fox!

Being outside. That's all I really need.

i like the cat on the box, in my summers i collect cats and let them stay at my house, then give them cat food and cat water so they can survive. so if i had this awesome bug jar i could fill it up with bugs so my cats can be super entertained while staying in my house.

Catching fireflies...that's why I need this!!!!!!!!!

......laying in a kiddie pool.

Ultimate Frisbee

The best part of a summer day is watching the day turn to night and the fireflies flickering in the trees and sky.

My favorite thing to do in the summer is camping and off- roading with friends and family.

I've got the wheels...

Oh man, I can't pick just one--how about 3?
--Reading and then napping in the sun in the backyard
--Counting my bug bites--mosquitoes, unfortunately, love me.
--Going to the beach with my extended family and walking all the way to the pier after dinner.

Favorite summer time would have to be hanging out with summer campers at the camp I work at jamming out to some brothers in the cabin singing at the top of our lungs... Letting everyone else know what is up!

And of course going to some shows and hanging out on the lake!

Summer time is when you make it to the North West to feed my growing addiction! Yeah! Also, Pickathon will bring new music as well. Music, music, music. Summer time fun.

And in the end, the love you give, is equal to the love you make.

i used to love catching fireflies & putting them in a jar for a "natural flashlite" when i was a kiddo...

we came to break the bad
we came to cheer the sad
we came to leave behind the world a better way

Easily i'd say offroad, hardcore wagon riding down rocky hills ending with agonizing crashes at the bottom painful but awesome

Ok so my roommates and I have a hard enough time keeping up with studies that we are wasting so much time getting the bugs out of our house. So now we just want to keep them. THIS IS PERFECT!!!

Boating and camping along Lake Erie for sure! How better else to keep folks entertained at dusk?! Merry Christmas to all!

Every summer I've gone camping with my dad on a great road trip. Every one is always amazing. Been all over this country on wheels. Each one has included some time through Colorado and New Mexico.

Bug catching would be super awesome to start doing on those trips! No better way to do it than with the "Slight Figure of Speech" bug jar.

golf is my favorite summer pastime. there is nothing like hitting the links with some friends when the sun is shining
