Hi Kids,

Grab your bike. Ride all day. Go to the beach, swim and have a picnic. Let’s hear it for juicy hot dogs, chips and creamy, yummy ice cream.

TT and I are BEACH BANDITS. We spend lots of time under picnic tables. Large groups of people celebrating birthdays are the best. While they’re busy talking and singing they drop food and  forget about eating.

We love it when it clouds up or rains. People scramble to get to their cars. TT and I enjoy their picnic, rain or shine. Then there’s the wonderful little kid that tosses his food on the ground and screams, “I don’t like catsup on my hotdog!” He’s a winner.

Remember, summer and ice cream go together. It doesn’t matter if you bike, hike, swim, walk or just sit. Take a DOUBLE DIPPER break. Why a DOUBLE DIPPER??? Summer is too short to have just one dip.

TT and I are thrilled when a dip rolls off the cone and splats on the ground. We’re sorry for the kid that loses his ice cream. We hate seeing kids cry. But we are  friends of the earth or environmentalists. (I love Big Words!!) A dip of ice cream that hits the ground must be cleaned up quickly without a trace.

Summer eating is fun but so is SUMMER READING. Be a SECRET READER.

 Grab a book and a flashlight. Forget about, GO TO BED! LIGHTS OUT. Read under the COVERS. Open your book and slip into a world of mystery, fantasy, history or biography. What FUN hiding under the covers reading, thinking and learning about life while the world sleeps.

TT and I know some SECRET READER kids that couldn’t stop reading and learning all year long.

Well Kids, it’s been fun visiting with you. Don’t forget TT and me when you have a delicious Double Dipper or when you’re snuggled in bed reading under the covers. See you next time.

Your Friends,

Stubb and TT
