I guess it's time for the kidlets to relax and start their summer vacation?

I do miss beign in school and looking forward to spending a summer with no shoes, homework and waking up early.

We'd wake up go play some ball in the street, maybe go swimming then go to the 'little store' to grab a sub, coke and a package of twinkies!

-----------------

I guess we can picnic again....... Tea and lemonade, maybe an Arnold Palmer?

Ribs, coleslaw, beans....fruit salad and a fire for the firepit!
