Summer Tribulations

Blog Prompt: Today Meg gave us a few words related to summer and asked us to choose two or three and use them as our prompt! Sunny, warm, picnics, outdoors, sunshine, hot, sticky, sweltering, insects, bugs, camping, swimming, lakes, boating, summer, corn, carnivals, festivals, parades, beach, fun, celebrate, biking, hiking, campfires, pools, outdoors, watermelon, sand castles, ice cream.

In NW Florida sunny, hot, sticky and sweltering is the only way to describe the weather these days. I think I will be glad for winter (what little we get) to set in. But if we are going to have to be outdoors, I can think of nothing better than taking the boat out to crab island and grilling some steaks. Of course, that means putting the boat in the water.

Then again if we ever get the key to the pool, we can take Princess and Indiana for an afternoon of splashing fun. Well Pan can. I really don’t like to be in a crowd of kids at the pool. Makes me to nervous, knowing their parents aren’t really watching them.

Summer also means blowing bubbles (see pic below), lighting sparklers and fireworks on Princess’ birthday and going to the Gulfarium.
