Summer Joys

"Each day presents itself with an opportunity for loving, giving and simply enjoying life. Soak up each moment and give thanks." ~Mama Hen

Little Chick and I have had such a wonderful summer! Filled with family, friends, hiking, biking, camp, choir, swimming every day at the beach and pool and yummy ice cream and Italian Ice. Wow! What a fun time!

Little Chick in Old Sturbridge Village

"Each day is a beautiful gift.

Unwrap it with gratitude and live it with enthusiasm." ~Mama Hen

Little Chick and I had a fantastic day at Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts! It is one of our favorite places to go. The weather was absolutely beautiful. We had fun going on the stage coach, horse drawn wagon and boat ride. We enjoyed seeing the village and all the folks dressed up in character. Leo the rooster greeted us as we reached the barn. We loved seeing the baby calves all curled up with one another. The day was topped with a refreshing swim at the pool. Ahhh the joys of summer!

Summer Days

"Summer days filled with swimming, reading in the shade, eating scrumptious watermelon and hanging out with family and friends. It doesn't get better than this!" ~Mama Hen

Little Chick took on the Summer Reading Challenge at our local library with determination and gusto! I was so proud of her. She said she wanted to read the summer's challenge within a week. So she got lots of books at the library and began reading the day the summer reading challenge began. Within 7 days she read more than the 1500 minutes allotted for the summer. She earned prizes and two new books. I am really proud of my Little Reader! We have been having so much fun hiking, swimming, cooking out and simply enjoying all that summer has to offer. Little Chick attended an all day Choir Camp and had an amazing time! It has been a wonderful summer and we are looking forward to more fun filled days!

Fun 4th of July

"Celebrate each holiday with family and friends and give thanks for all the cherished memories." ~Mama Hen

This summer has been filled with so much fun, family and friends! This 4th of July weekend we enjoyed swimming and barbequing with family. It was a beautiful day and Little Chick and her cousin had the best time splashing about in the pool. Little Chick and I have really been enjoying everything summer has to offer. We either spend our days at the beach or at the pool and we love hanging out with our friends and family. It was a happy 4th of July!

Fun at the beach!

Happy 4th of July!
