The Best of June

June means kids are free from school.

Days are warmer, nights still cool.

So many options the month of June,

Especially on a pleasant afternoon.

*

A trip to water—a lake or river.

That first chilly step may cause a shiver.

Never mind, your body will adapt.

There's too much fun waiting to be tapped.

*

Jumping from an old rope swing,

Or floating on devices, if that's your thing.

Swimming, racing, boating too,

Many entertaining options to do.

*

Stop and have a picnic snack,

Eating from a worn backpack.

Back to the water— minnows to catch.

Just how many can we snatch?

*

Back home, sprinklers generate giggles.

While parents view the happy wiggles.

Later, fireflies glow like mini stars,

Momentarily captured as lantern jars.

*

Top it with an ice-cream treat.

Any flavor, as long as it's sweet.

A hard day of fun, it's time to rest.

June excursions are certainly best.
