<p>This story tells about one of my favorite childhood experiences. &nbsp;Every year our cousins would spend part of the summer with us. &nbsp;Since we lived on a farm we had a large world to explore with our play limited to our imagination. Stopping our play only lasted long enough to help with work around the place. This time in the 1950&rsquo;s also saw many first in our nation when television and space began to play an importance in our lives. &nbsp;Then one afternoon as we played we had a surprise which made this summer A Special Christmas in July!</p>
