Friday Fun Links – Summer is Coming Edition
It’s the middle of May, and around here we are anxiously anticipating summer. Or, mostly anticipating it anyway, since once it arrives we’ll be living with 110-115 degree temperatures. So, aside from the weather, we are looking forward to summer and all the fun it brings. My oldest son has two more weeks of homeschooling before we can say goodbye to 2nd grade. (Can I get a WOO and a HOO?)
Our plans for this summer? Lots and lots (AND LOTS) of play-time. Movies. Legos. Princess and tea parties. Ice cream for lunch (occasionally). Water parks with our friends. Visits from Uncle and Aunt and cousins. Visits TO Mema and Papa. A trip to San Diego.
Ok… now I’m getting tired just thinking about all the fun!
What are YOU doing this summer?
If you don’t already have plans for summer, or are looking for a few summer-time activities to share with your children/grandchildren, I’m here to the rescue with a few fun links!
Craft Projects:

Well, that’s enough to get you started at least THINKING about summer, right? I’ll be back next week with a few more summer-time fun links. And just between you and me, it’s totally ok if you do NOT wait for summer to arrive to hit up one of those delish ice cream recipes!
Happy Friday!
