FFF #8 Fun the Sun!

It's funny the memories that come to your mind with just a simple phrase. Sarah chose "fun in the sun" as her FFF this week. When I read that I instantly had this memory:

When I was young, my mom, sister and I would travel to CT for a few weeks every other summer to visit family. My aunt and grandma would always have a picnic and we'd invite all the family (both sides) to come and have fun. We always tried to have a theme- one year it was crazy shorts, another was crazy hats (hmmm... am I seeing a "crazy" pattern???). The picnics were always fun and a great way for everyone to catch up. One year the local beach was having a commercial run on the radio- it wa a cute song that went something like this: "Fun in the Sun; Ocean Beach Park; Fun after dark; Ocean Beach Park!" Catchy and stuck with you! Ocean Beach is a classic east coast beach complete with a board walk (and don't forget their famous bird poop!)! Anyways- back to the picnic- we decided to do the bunny hop to the Ocean Beach park theme that year as part of the entertainment (not sure what prompted that) but hilarity ensued when we lined up in our crazy hats and sang "fun in the sun..." doing the bunny hop down my Little Grandma's drive way. My mom has all the picture evidence of this event- I will try to get them to share with all of you.

The girls bring about new "fun in the sun" and since I recently shared with you pictures from the latest pool parties- here are a few oldies that I love:
