Special Days in June

A continuing series of photos celebrating lesser known special days....
​

Donut Day

The first Friday in June is 'Donut Day', which fell on the 4th this year, so Phairby and the mice got together to partake in some of their favourite varieties from the various donut establishments....

Chocolate Ice Cream Day

June 7th was 'National Chocolate Ice Cream Day', so I made up some cones for the girls and told them to take them outside. 
Picture
But it was so hot out that the ice cream melted before they could even eat it....  ​
Picture
Picture
Although Cinnamon's chocolate dipped ice cream did fare better.
Picture
Raillie's melted down her dress...
Picture
So much for Chocolate Ice Cream Day!
Picture
Only Rags seemed happy....

Going for a Swim

On June 11th, Tiana came across Mr Ropuha, stark naked by the fountain.  "What are you doing?"
Picture
It's ' National Swimming Pool Day' today, so I thought I'd go for a swim, but this fountain isn't big enough for my floatie...
Picture
"Well, the bird bath is big enough, so why not go there instead?  And I'll join you!"
Picture
So they went....
Picture
"What a great idea!"
Picture
Picture
'This is the life!!"
Picture
Picture
"Some more wine, sweetheart?"
Picture
"Yes, please!"
Picture

A Rose

June 12th was  'National Red Rose Day', so Eden picked one of my roses to present to his love....

Baking Cookies

June 12th was also 'National Peanut Butter Cookie Day', so some of the girls decided to bake up a batch...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Would you like one too?"
Picture
"Yes please, as soon as I finish mixing this up..."
Picture

the Doll Collection

June 12th is also World Doll Day, and Holly poses with her collection....

the Garbage Man

June 17th was 'Global Garbage Man Day', and falling on a Thursday, which is our real garbage and recycling day, I decided to follow Owen (who was temporarily helping out at the local waste disposal department) as he made his rounds around town.....

Father's Day

It was Father's Day, and being the great Dad that he was, Steve promised each of his kids that he'd spend some special time with each of them. He should have given them all a time when he could give sole attention to one at a time.  Instead they all wanted his attention at the same time....
Picture
"You promised to come to my doll's tea party..."
Picture
"We even saved a seat for you!"
Picture
"But you said that you'd play trains with me!!"
Picture
Picture
What was he to do?
Picture
"Giddyup horsey!!"
Picture

Collecting Shells

June 21st is National Seashell Day, and found Layla, Missy, and Talyssa down at the beach collecting shells....

Skateboarding

Yesterday, June 21st, was also 'National Go Skateboarding Day'.  I looked everywhere for my bigger skateboard but couldn't find it. I only found the two tiny ones, so Mannie Mouse and Mr. Ropuha wanted to try them out. They went to the Civic Center where there were lots of walkways....
Picture
"Have you ever done this before?"
Picture
"No, but I'm willing to give it a try..."
Picture
So they stepped onto their boards....
Picture
...and off they went....
Picture
"This is fun!!"
Picture
"It sure beats hopping!"
Picture
"Wheeee...!!"
Picture

Fairies

June 24th is International Fairy Day, ​and what better day to reveal Miho's new look as Fairy Queen...

Sunglasses

June 27th is National Sunglasses Day, and where would they come in more useful than on a bright sunny day at the beach, with the glare off the sand and water?
Picture
Lonnie and Bonnie were making sandcastles, and Bonnie had on her sunglasses...
Picture
But Lonnie just had hers perched up on her hat....
Picture

the Photographer

June 29th, is National 'Camera Day', featuring Baron as a temporary photographer.... ​
Picture
Picture

Mud

June 29th, is also 'International Mud Day', and what could be more fun for little boys than jumping in puddles and getting covered up to the ears in mud?
Picture
Like at a construction site after a rain storm....

Every Child Matters

On June 30th radio stations across the country came together to give a voice to our indigenous people, after the horrific discovery earlier that month, of the hundreds of unmarked graves at the sites of former Indian Residential schools in British Columbia and Saskatchewan....
Picture
Over a period of a century, one hundred and fifty thousand Indigenous children were taken from their families and sent to Residential schools. There they lost their culture, their language, their traditions, and teachings, and many were subjected to unspeakable abuse. Thousands lost their lives.
Picture
It's a shameful, horrific, dark part of our country's history, as the truth comes out.
