There is nothing more carefree than kids in the summer. We received so many great shots for our 2017 Kids of Summer Photo Contest that it was hard to pick just one for the cover.
Ryleigh Moore and the Cookie Monster received the most votes on our website. Carter Stockman, 4, of Gambrills, was chosen for the cover.
