Theme Thursday: Summer Fun

I'm veering away from the usual summer fun pictures involving pools, popsicles, and sunscreen and into a lesser-known region of summer activities: weapons of mass destruction. I exaggerate just a bit, but I've spent the last two days chaperoning Cub Scout day camp, so I'm sure you'll forgive me.

At Cub Scout camp, in addition to making treasure chests, running obstacle courses, creating funny hats, and making s'mores, my eight year old did this...



and this...



Ask any boy at camp which of the many activities he wanted to do again and again? Yep, you guessed it: BB guns and archery. Weapons and summer fun -- what a combination.

Theme Thursday: Unrefined

What could be more "unrefined" and "raw" than a day at the beach? Sand, saltwater, wind, and sun...



I'll shoot this kind of RAW anyday ;)...

BSM: S'Mores

What's one of the best parts of summer? S'mores, definitely s'mores...




Another great part of summer? Hanging out in your swim trunks, covered in dirt, marshmallows, and bandaids. Ain't life sweet?
