Sunshine Day!

It’s a Sunshine Day, The Brady Bunch (For the lyrics so you can sing along, check the bottom of this post.)

I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one…

– from Afternoon on a Hill, Edna St. Vincent Millay

I had such a great week! I love when Daddy is home! After a rainy start, our spring break was beautiful, and we got to spend some time outside.

Coach is taking classes towards certification in Landscape Architecture so we rode with him one day to the New York Botanical Garden. It was a highlight of the week – the first sunny day!

We got to see the Orchid Show, which was amazing! There were flowers of all the colors of the rainbow:

I spent quality time with both Daddy AND Mommy!

We were just finishing up in the conservatory when Coach was finishing his test, so we met up and wandered through the Children’s Adventure Garden.

That poem I quoted up at the top of the post? Might be a little bit of a fib… I did NOT touch a hundred flowers, but I may or may not have gotten a bit too close to one of the caterpillar topiaries. Shh, don’t tell!

It’s a Sunshine Day, The Brady Bunch

It’s time for some blogger-oke! You know you want to rock out to some cheesy 70’s pop!

I think I’ll go for a walk outside now
the summer sun’s callin my name
(I hear ya now)
I just can’t stay inside all day
I gotta get out get me some of those rays
everybody’s smilin
sunshine day
everybody’s laughin
sunshine day
everybody seems so happy today
it’s a sunshine day

I think I’ll go for a walk out side now
the summer sun knows me by name
he’s callin me
I gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get away
I gotta get away, get away, get away, get away
Into the sunshine day….

Can’t you dig the sunshine
Love and sun are the same
Can’t you hear him callin your name?

Oh, I think I’ll take a walk everyday now
the summer sun has show the way to be happy now
I just cant stay inside all day
I gotta get out get me some of those rays
everybody’s smilin
sunshine day
everybody’s laughin
sunshine day
everybody seems so happy today
it’s a sunshine day

Can’t you dig the sunshine
Love and sun are the same
Can’t you hear him callin your name?

I think I’ll go for a walk outside now
the summer sun’s callin my name
I just cant stay inside all day
I gotta get out get me some of those rays
everybody’s smilin
sunshine day
everybody’s laughin
sunshine day
everybody seems so happy today
it’s a sunshine day

everybody’s smilin
sunshine day
everybody’s laughin
sunshine day
everybody seems so happy today

Does that song not just make you feel great? See you tomorrow!
