Happy Monday! Hope all the dads and grandpas had a lovely Father’s Day yesterday. The girls helped me plan a backyard camp-out dinner and dessert. The menu was turkey hot dogs and bratwurst, watermelon, potato chips, and lemonade. For dessert, we made S’more Cookie Bars – YUM! (I got the recipe from the Hershey website.)
We also made this fun string of fish to hang at our “campsite.”
The girls decorated the cut-out fish with oil pastels and watercolors. When they were dry, some lovely compliments and messages for daddy were added to the back:
The fish are now hanging inside on our mantle – I have a feeling they will be there for awhile!
Happy playing!
P.S. I am still running the shipping special over at the Let’s Explore Shop – all orders of $25 or more ship for free!

I LOVE this fish idea! I’m going to get my girls started painting fish for our big family birthday celebration at the end of July. Thanks!
