Summer Fun This Week

Bubble Up: Blow some beautiful bubbles, big and small - and see how many you can pop!
Get swinging in a hammock, porch swing, tire swing, or on an old fashioned swing set! Bring a few good books into the hammock, or plan a nighttime swingtime and try to touch the stars with your feet!
Try memorizing “Lemonade,” and see if you can sing it all the way through (lyrics in the back)!
