Summer Lovin'

The Little Turtle
by Vachel Lindsay

There was a little turtle.
He lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on the rocks.

He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
And he snapped at me.

He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.

(one of Lillianna's favorite poems)

Summer has already been flying by.
Toads, swimming, swinging, visiting with friends and family, treasure walks, sleeping in, popsicles, movie nights, a new playhouse (built by Brad!), and Christy the turtle (seen above).
Love it all.
