day 40 of summer

Day #40:  Wednesday, July 2

We took an unplanned trip to one of our favorite parks this morning.  The reason? It was a BEAUTIFUL 72 degree July day. Wow!!  This park is about 20 minutes away, but we love it!  There's so much to do with three playgrounds, fun stepping logs, sandbox, a built-in stream to play in, big "boulders" to climb on, a nice nature walk around a lake {where we saw a large snake today...eek!!!}, and a dam the kids love to go see.  We really do live in a great place with so much family-fun things around us!













We also took a quick trip to a farmer's market this afternoon where the kiddos sampled some different flavors of honey.

Then we did a fireworks craft with 5 straws bundled together and red, white, and blue paint.  I loved how they turned out!


We also made the Pinterest popular red, white, and blue drink!  It's made with cranberry juice, blue Gatorade, and diet 7-up {it has to be diet}...the key also is ICE...we first did it without and everything just mixed together.
