Summer Solstice S'mores

Well, one of my absolute favorite times of the year is the longest, lightest day of the year - Summer Solstice. And this year it falls on a Friday night. And on that night, I'll be celebrating at our neighborhood Elk's Club pool. They have a BBQ every Friday night and it's SO fun! It's amazing how many people are enjoying themselves. Little kids are having a blast swimming in the pool, teen-aged libido is so thick you can see it, and adults are having a great time getting buzzed. I was just having a great time being all of the ages aforementioned. I spent so much time as a kid swimming at pools and as a teenager being a lifeguard at a pool and my adult was getting a contact high from all the socializing with everyone.

BUT! On Saturday night, we are having some families in our neighborhood come over for s'mores and that is another one of my favorite summer things to do with the kiddos. Personally, I just like being the "keeper" of the supplies and handing them out (that way I can eat all the chocolate) but the kids have so much fun roasting and toasting and running around. I love when I see memories in the making. It means a lot to me.

So, happy Summer Solstice Everyone! xoxo
