unpacking a good summer read

I'm busy packing...it's time to get the RV ready to hit the road. So it was with great joy...that I discovered a package left behind by the mailman. I knew exactly what amazon.ca might be sending me...

...it was my vacation reading material. And it arrived just in the nick of time!

A few books for her...a few books for him...and "The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen"...which I am looking forward to breaking into real soon!

We are off on a camping adventure today...with two three-year-olds who have never been camping! I'm thinking there won't be much time to read...maybe just a few pages of 'Farm Chicks'. Then for the weekend...we will make our way to the desert...to join family at a cherry orchard campground. How much better can it get?

Sometime this summer...I plan to read those books!

  1. I'll bet there's a shady tree in that cherry orchard and it's just waiting for you, your lounge chair and one of those books. A couple of them are on my list too!

  2. I can recommend "Three Cups of Tea." That is the only one I have read. Enjoy. That is great family fun.

  6. The read for Three Cups of Tea will not let you out of your chair.
    I'm wondering how much time you will have to read with those little ones.
    Hoping the weather will be nice and hot.

  13. I've read and enjoyed Three Cups of Tea -- an amazing true story of a very courageous man.

    Farm Chicks looks fun book, and The Potato Peel book has gotten rave reviews, so I have it on my library que.

    Have a wonderful time with the little ones!
