Midwestern Summertime Nostalgia

Summer nostalgia hits different in the Midwest. From Venture runs and Ghost in the Graveyard to cherry Cokes and grandma’s willow tree, those memories remind us of simpler, slower times. Now, as parents, we’re doing our best to give our kids that same magic — the kind that smells like sunscreen, sounds like fireworks, and feels like freedom.
