Here Comes the Sun

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. - John Lennon

Happy First Day of Summer!!

The Summer Solstice helped us kick off our summer. I started the day with Sun pancakes

 Then it was off to a day of backyard fun. We made a solar oven and melted some crayons and made a sun dial to help us track it's progress across the sky on our longest day of light.

Lots of water play too

Logan treated us to a picnic lunch, assembled all by himself. What a treat!!

After lunch, we plopped in some s'mores into our solar oven

 YUM!!

 The rest of the afternoon was spent in the backyard fort, reading books and playing.

After Caden's nap we headed to the beach where Shawn joined us after-work for a picnic dinner and to enjoy the latest sunset of the year.

 Happy Summer!!

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy. - Henry Ward Beecher
