Summer Time

I've been putting together some of our summer reading program posts. I really wanted to share this book and I couldn't decide what activities would go along well with it. Mostly I just want to say, go on a picnic! Talk about the things you like to do in the summer. Plan out an activity to do as a family that's best in the summer. So there it is.

It also made me think of this article posted on KSL. It might be worth a read. We live in a culture with high exceptions and it's good to keep a realistic perspective in mind. So, that being said, enjoy the article and most of all, enjoy spending time with your kids: A Realistic Summer Bucket List (Link)

Summertime

Aladdin, 1999

Summertime,

And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
