18 gallons of......... SUMMER FUN

Oh geez...there's nothing like busy fun filled summer days!!

The Persingerfive live for summer!!

There is nothing like FUN in the SUN with our schedule booked full of adventures, growing, playing, reading and enjoying family time.

The thing that bugs me most lately is the ever increasing gas prices.
Eeeekkkk!!!!!
That's not so fun...


We are beyond excited lately as we prepare for our summer holiday...

summer lovin'

Today is the quintessential summer day...

Warm and Dreamy

Beautiful scenery

Soul hugging sunshine

Oh summer why can't you stay longer!!

Plant a new truffula. Treat it well....

For our 300th blog, Cookie and Sweetheart share
 some of their favorite Dr. Seuss quotes from
Oh, the Places You'll Go, The Lorax and Cat in the Hat.

I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues.
--The Lorax--

You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So...get on your way!
--Oh, the Places You'll Go!--

Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have to know how
--The Cat in the Hat--

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
--Oh, the Places You'll Go!--

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
--Oh the Places You'll Go!--

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what yo know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.
--Oh, the Places You'll Go!--

It's a GREAT day so click on one of the past blog post below to continue the adventures.

Thank you for following our blog.....

spray me down....

When you live in New Mexico you must wear sunblock year around.

If you have children.....they must wear sunblock

It's not a matter of not wearing it....... it's a must!

So when I heard,"Mommy, the sunblock is empty", this morning.

.....I knew we had to make a trip to the store after school.

So many to choose from....our fave is the spray on, no rub variety.

Fifi gets distracted by the glittery, sparkly advertisement
 as she shops for lip balm 

Sweetheart, your hair is so super long and pretty.... 

We've found our water proof, sweat proof, 'no rub' Neutrogena helioplex spray sunblock, 

Paraban free EOS lip balm with SPF 30, 

Goody no snag hair ties, 

Burt's Bee's tea tree oil, 

and 

 Beyond Carrots facial cream.

The weather is getting warmer and the temperature is slowly rising.

Hurray for healthy skin and tangle free hair.....  and coupons! *whew*

Picnicking in upstate New York

We're headed upstate New York toward our next destination. 

.....we're taking a different route this year. 

In previous years we travel towards Philly, Baltimore and DC towards Strasburg to I-81 connecting to I-40. 

This year we're in for something different....

what a beautiful novel setting

So beautiful but probably so poisonous

Beaver kill River

We've planned for a picnic lunch, today, in the beautiful Eastern branch of the Delaware River in the New York Catskill Mountains known as the Beaver Kill River.
(famed as one of the best places to catch trout in the world) 

The fish seem to be jumping for joy at the site we chose for lunch. 

Bam decided to waded out in the gentle river to a rock he dubbed as Rock Island. 

He decided to take some time for himself to reflect after lunch.....

"Mom, the water feels great! Come and join me Mommy."

watching and petting the fish swimming by........

Princess Fifi seems to be channeling her Native roots...............Perhaps Pocahontas.

My water fairies melt my heart as they sing and dance on the rocks....
