Summer is Awesome

We love summer!
We love the smells!
   sunscreen
   fresh cut lawns
   strawberries
   salty air
 
We love the sounds!
   crashing waves
   crickets and frogs
   boat motors
   pool splashing

We love the BEACH!

Kiki is a builder. She loves to make her sandcastles tall, taller TALLEST!
She loves buckets and shovels and collects shells from every beach she has visited.
She keeps them in clear glass jars and relives her beach days any time she wants!

What are your favorite things to do at the beach?
Do you like to play in the sand?
Do you like to build a sand city?
Do you like to look for creatures?

 

The beach is always a great place to make new friends.

 It is also a great place to spend time playing with your family!

Get your fins on and explore the shallow water with a dive mask!
You can see all kinds of  swirls where the water and sand collide.

You can snorkel!

 You can surf!

 You can bask in the sun!

 You can pack a picnic lunch and snacks and share it with your friends!

 You can play all day in summer and the sunshine never ends!

And if you live too far away to visit your nearest beach today?

Ask MOM to grab a bag of sand, a bucket and some shells.
You can make your very own beach in your own backyard...

And have your very own beach tale to tell!

Cholly and Lolli Scuba and Surf

 This is Lolli.
 

She likes to scuba.
She likes to watch jellyfish swim in the sea.
She knows better than to touch them.
(But she carries meat tenderizer and white vinegar with her just in case it happens.)
Lolli is full of random useful knowledge.
But she does tend to digress.

Anyway, she likes to scuba.

This is Cholly.

He is wuhking on pwonouncing his awws.
He likes to Suwf.

He's a weally good swimmew.

 

 Cholly and Lolli love the ocean and all of it's many creatures.

They started The "Save the Jellyfish Club".

One time Lolli's mom made sandwiches for the club out of tuna fish and jelly.

She called them "jellyfish sandwiches".

And Cholly suggested they change the name of the club to "Save the Ham and Cheese".

But that club just never really gained momentum as much as it inspired better lunches.

So everybody won.

Cholly and Lolli have this game who-can-find-the-best-trash-on-the-beach and they get all their friends to play it. The winner gets to WIN!
So maybe the next club will be something to do with that.
As long as they can still have ham and cheese on their sandwiches.
Because NO ONE wants trash sandwiches, LOLLI'S MOM!
