Summertime Scout Pillows

Climbing Mount Rushmore

Holiday time.

'I don't care if it's hot, I won't go in the water!'

Scene of seagull troops about to charge a picnic.

'Sure, it's our pool. . . but who's going to tell him that?'

'Nope. I didn't see any dogfish.'

"I got tired of 'Moby-Dick' taunting me from my bookshelf, so I put it on my Kindle and haven't thought of it since."

"Migration? I love chasing the endless summer, but travelling such distances with kids is exhausting..."

"Careful Hank, this one still has some fight in him."

'We don't know what it is but it was in the sale so we thought we'd better get one before they sold out.'

"Nasty sunburn."

Barbecue with man, cat and dog.

'Eddy! Can you check that recall list on the toy website again to see if this swing is included?'

"You can't have the whole ice cream cone, but as it melts you can lick the drips off my elbow!"

Two boys eating ice cream

'Best to keep downwind.'

"And another thing, it's real cool in the summer!"

Death, on holiday, forgets to pack the sunscreen.

'Boy it's hot today: Let's go and sting a snake to cool down...'

'Mom, can I take the beach home as a souvenir?'

'I assumed he'd know to eat the cone last.'

'The sun lounge book of melanomas.'

'You expect me to play with educational toys during SUMMER VACATION?'

"Quiet? I'd even read for the understudy part for someone who is between engagements."

'We can't stop here for a picnic, you know I need to find a stream to wash my food...'

The race against gravity with an ice cream!

"'The Girl Who Kicked Summer Vacation's Ass.'"

"Will this global warming mean we'll have longer summer vacations?"

'Better make the most of the garden before the summer finally ends.'

'I suppose a loan to send them to summer camp could be called a home improvement loan.'

'Phil barbecues the traditional way...ineptly.'

"I'm off to the sales!"
