Sno Cones are the cornerstone of all neighborhood fairs and childhood summers 😉 He was DEVASTATED 😉 but the little slumped shoulders just screamed at me “TAKE MY PICTURE” 😉
So cute Rachel. In the first one he reminds me of a baby turtle, learning how to manage the tides!

LOL! I didn’t think of that, Amy, but you’re right! He does 😉
I could use a good helping of sidewalk chalk myself!

Sidewalk chalk rocks! and I love those little $1 cartons from Wally World because it makes it much easier to divvy up and carry around!
No Floaties is brilliant! I love the angle– perfect!

Thank you! I was and am thrilled with how it came out! It gives me the biggest grin 😉
Absolutely love the weight of the world or no sno-cones pic. Oh, the humanity!! 😉 Amazing how such little bodies can show such profound weariness and sadness, isn’t it?

Thank you honey! and yes, it is amazing the depth of emotion their little bodies contain. Especially since his biggest decision in life is which cereal to eat and whether to wear the hawaiian print bathing trunks or the navy blue ones 😉 *sigh* 😉
I want to just eat monkey. Is that wrong???
