The Night Before Summer Vacation

I just love Natasha Wing.  She covers every major holiday using the rhyme scheme of "The Night Before Christmas".  Ivy has been obsessively readying "The Night Before Summer Vacation" this week.  She is so excited by s'mores (we made them outside tonight for the first time!), sandbox toys, suntan lotion, and picnics -  all of which are covered in this book.  A family gets ready to leave for their summer vacation, packing everything known to man.

Twas the night before leaving

on summer vacation. 

My family was bursting with anticipation.  

Dad made a checklist 

which he checked as he went -

the bug spray, the backpacks

the umbrella, the tent.
