Chalk It Up to the Heat

It has been so hot and dry here.  Really dry.  We don't have the mosquitoes we had last year, so we've been try to live in the shady backyard as much as possible.  With the heat, comes some crazies.  Did you know that you can draw with chalk on a trampoline?  The best part is that the black canvas the trampoline provides makes the art all the more vivd and attractive.  Then when you are all done -- you can jump on it and it's like a colorful powderpuff.  The kids looked like decorated cakes when they were all done, but another great summer day spent here in the woods.

P.S.  The art came right off when it rained that evening.  So if you try this it home it comes clean with rain/garden hose. : )
