Before she is an adult, no more excuses. There’s still so much to share while still living in the suburbs.

Garden Grower
I'm certainly no green thumb. My inclination is to kill plants. Somehow, incorporating a storytime to the "Garden Growers" at the library sucked me in. ACY took to it immediately, anticipating Wednesday morns to check on her plants. So ironic they planted Impatients. Then sheep ears. Or were they elephant ears?
The weather hasn't been cooperative for my beach bum this summer. Some days are over the top hot. And getting burnt wasn't fun for me. Lobster, red bell pepper....the shade of my back. Got a cool tanned "X". So perhaps the Garden Growers was a blessing in disguise.
The marigolds look promising. Another mom told me basil works well in crappy soil. That's verbatim. Lol. Maybe this was more for me?
Then, of course, we have spent much time at "Safari Park" with EGP, her partner in crime. Best amenity other than the "safari" is the spray pool.
Summer fun! Simply put, nothing is better than this. To just be a child and live free and carelessly as one.

The Big Apple Circus & Beach Return
The charm of the Big Apple Circus is the old skool feel of the tent. All seats are good, and some are better. Thanks to Pandora's commercial, we jumped on tix. ACY loved the circus. Not just liked, but loved every act and enthusiastic in every sense. She asks when she can go back.
And so we did go back. Not to the circus, but to Lido! She couldn't contain her joy of becoming a beach bum for the second summer in a row. Just today, she made a new friend. And watching the kids play at the beach is relaxing for mommy, indeed. Other than the lobster/red bell pepper sunburn shade I've turned from somehow not applying enough sunblock. *ouch*. Lucky munchkin, she inherited her father's genes on that one!
