The end of school is just around the corner, and you know what that means: summer camp! And what’s one thing you think of when you think of summer camp (other than campfire songs, s’mores, and mosquitoes)? Canoes! It just seems a particular right of passage that kids should don life jackets and set out in a mini-armada of canoes so they can … what? I don’t know. But I remember how much fun it was to be out on the open water, and peaceful, too. When you combine the fun of canoeing with another summertime staple — grilling — you get the kind of fun meal that’ll inspire all sorts of camp stories!

I have quite a collection of pictures my kids have drawn for me. Most of them include stick figures of our family, little blobs of color to represent our pets, and then, of course, there are innumerable pictures of our home, which inspired this lunch. I guess there’s a certain appeal for kids to want to draw straight lines, windows, grass and a smiling sun — over and over and over again.
Stroll down Snow Pea Lane over to Recipe.Com for the instructions.

April, and it’s showers, is over, so bring on the May flowers!! It might be raining where you are, but it’s 90 degrees with 1000% humidity here in NC. Have I mentioned how much I loathe summers in the south?? Well, I do. It’s May and it already feels like summer. One good thing about May would be the flowers that are starting to bloom. My girls have spent hours picking honeysuckles in our backyard. It’s become quite the neighborhood kid event. They are going to have to find something else to do soon because I don’t think there are many suckles left!! Here are a few flower sandwiches from the past that I wanted to bring back.
