Excerpt
Summer’s greatest treasures
“Mom! My fingers are stuck together. The marshmallows are too melted.” Blake said with a scrunched-up nose as he wiped his gooey hands all over his mom’s sweater.
“Blakey, that’s what makes it so much better. Roasting the cones over a toasty fire and having the marshmallows and chocolate all melted into the cone.” Maddie patiently explained to her slightly younger cousin.
“I know Madison but the sand by the fireside is all over me and it’s crunchy in my teeth. I had so much fun learning to body surf today in the waves of Jalama Beach. I am tired and a little bit sunburned. “The very sleepy Blake curled up into his dad’s lap and closed his eyes.
“Hey Jeremy, how is the fish fry coming along? Did you catch enough for all of us? Or were you too busy chasing Maddie down the beach when you were teaching her to fly her kite today?” Josh teased Jeremy who was the newest cook for the day.
“You know I caught enough for several fish fry’s! I’m the master fisherman of this family!” Jeremy replied as he waved his spatula in the air to emphasize his mastery.
“OK, but don’t leave too much out for the racoons tonight. You know how much they like to get into all our goodies. And put all your drinks away so the bees don’t hover around us!”
Summer camping is the best memories that a family can make. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves, the twinkling of the stars and the soft glow of the campfire embeds into a child’s mind the togetherness of family and nature. Cozy up with your child this summer and follow the Queen and her active family as they spend an entire year along the sandy beaches of her Kingdom. Learn to fly kites, body surf, fish, feed an Ostrich and Emu, and making yummy S’mores by the fireside.
