Did you know that June 21st is not always the first day of summer? I didn’t until yesterday. Hehe! I joke about living in a cave, but really. I guess in leap years, the first day of summer is actually June 2o (which was yesterday). Who knew???

… Anyhow – It’s summer! Yay! To celebrate the first day of summer, we took a nature walk yesterday around our property. We wanted to find black raspberries and we did! We also found gooseberries, baby birds, and Japanese Beetles. I have lots of fun pictures from our hike to show you tomorrow.

Today, has been a nasty day. Last night I found lice in my kids’ hair. That was something I never thought I would have to deal with. Guess I was WRONG! I’ve been treating everyone’s hair (mine too because we co-sleep), washing tons of laundry, and generally being grumpy. To offset the grumpiness, we made a fun fruit snack! How cute are these?

{I must disclose, this is not my original idea. A picture on facebook was my inspiration, but the picture didn’t have a link, so I don’t know the original source.}

Aren’t they pretty? To make these, I just filled medium-sized waffle cones with blueberries, blackberries, grapes, strawberries, and nectarines.  Then we ate them with vanilla ice cream. So tasty! And a very fun snack to brighten an otherwise yucky second day of summer.

Happy Summer to you!! Did you do anything special to celebrate?
