It’s mid-June, it’s hot, and school is almost out for summer! An absolutely wonderful family in one of my son’s classes hosted an annual “pondside picnic” today and it was not to be missed. Imagine a children’s paradise – water, a tree house, lots of sand and a zipline – all on the property of their 1740 farmhouse in the Virginia countryside. What a way to start the summer!
I hear that some of you are already heading on vacation (lucky)! Here’s wishing you safe travels as you head on your way to some long-awaited R&R. May this be the start of some great times ahead!

Looks like a grown-up kid’s paradise, too! What a fun time.
WOW THAT IS A NEIGHBOR’S YARD?? THIS IS A CHILDREN’S FUNCTION? IT LOOKS LIKE A PLACE I WOULD LIKE TO GO FOR AN EXTENDED VACATION. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL YARD. I KNOW THAT EVERYONE HAD FUN.
YES, WE ARE GETTING READY TO GO ON VACATION IN A LITTLE OVER A WEEK TO SUNSHINE, QUIET, PORCH SITTING, DO NOTHING RICH CREEK :). I GET TO GO SEE MY SISTERS AND MOM. I WILL STAY THERE FOR A WEEK AND THEN GO TO CROSS JUNCTION TO ANOTHER SUNSHINE, QUIET, DECK, RIVER FOR SWIMMING AND BOATING TO SEE MY OTHER SISTER.
I DONT KNOW WHY I DO ALL THIS DRIVING, WE GO TO THE BEACH ALMOST EVERY DAY THAT IS WHAT SOME THINK AS A VACATION. NO I NEED AND WANT TO SEE ALL MY FAMILY. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME IN MY LIFE WHEN I AM WITH MY FAMILY. I DONT DO IT ENOUGH.
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT SUMMER.
What beautiful pictures Cindy! I know your guys loved all of this summer fun =)
Hey, not just a children’s Paradise! Your son reminds me so much of what my husband would have looked like at that age! It’s like having a sneek peek at an old photo album. Thanks for jump-starting my summer.
I am so envious!!! But so happy for you and your family and the time you have together!!
OK, could these boys be ANY CUTER!!!! Your killing me here, I just want to nibble on some of those sticky, dirty little boy faces. Too Sweet friend!
Happy Summer & Congrats on the Artbliss kickoff!!! I loved seeing the flyer & badge on Deryns Blog, it’s soooo fun for me.

It really does look like a bit of paradise – I’m sure you all had a great time!
Okay, so I can officially say that I’m so incredibly jealous of your kids. LOL
I wish I could have come, too!! I can only IMAGINE their joy at that little paradise 😀
Although I do have an ulterior motive…That farm is a DREAM of mine! To have a 1,000+ acre farm like that is incredible.
Maybe one day!
I’m glad you and your kids had a wonderful day ^.^

Hey Cindy,
We aren’t sure exactly what Rufus is. Could by Shih Tzu or some have maybe part Maltese? He is just my boy! Thanks for visiting and do look into the Where Bloggers Create thing. I don’t have a proper studio either, I hope there are others like me. It will be fun to see everyone’s worksspace. I love to see how others organize. I have stuff everywhere! You will see!

Let the good times begin!
I want to go there too! What fun is this, a great place for kids to dive into summer. Wow, love it. Thanks for all your support too Cindy. I’m happy to know I might have helped you through your tough loss in some small way. Big hug, Riki
Looks like an adult and kid wonderland. Great photos!
