Blue Wave Floats
Inspired by the Shark Bait Ice Cream Floats posted by All Things Mama , we made our own blue summertime treats. While my grown-up taste buds did not particularly enjoy this sugary concoction of Blue Fanta, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Gummy Candies, the kids loved it.

Summer Fun
Summer break is here. This summer is quite different for us than the last. While we are still exercising caution, we are slowly reintroducing ourselves back into the world. Our weeks will be a mix of at home activities and one weekly field trip where we will take as many safety precautions as possible while still having fun. The plan for the week is simply to have fun. Some highlights include: painting with squirt guns making popcorn balls a sun screen science experiment building an air fort. May 31 – June 4

Bugging Out
Springs means new life is creeping out from everywhere, including deep within the soil, in the trees, and sometimes on the walls. This week we will explore things that crawl. And while this creeps me out a bit, Ansley doesn't shy away from most crawling things. I will take her lead as we explore bugs.
