THIS MONTH'S THEMES: Stay Cool, Ice Cream
It does not have to fit both themes, just one or the other.
However, I'll be giving you a prompt for each theme!

FIRST: Pick a sentence and fill in the blanks.
* This is how we/I __Stay Cool__!
* This is my favorite __Ice Cream___!
SECOND: Go take a picture of whatever you filled in the __blank__ with!
If it's a feeling or something intangible, take a picture that represents it in some way, either by emotion or correlation.
You can also share a picture you have taken from a previous time in your life, just not a re-post from any other months' contests!
:D

This is how my son, Alexander stays cool! He plays in his American Ducky splash pad! :3
P.S. We are avid Jurassic Park lovers! We saw the new movie yesterday!

Thank you everyone for voting for me :)

So this picture was taken a few years ago when i went on a week long camping trip with my friend and others. it was part of a fundraiser for telemiracle. My gelding was still very green at the time and had never been in water! was a learning curve for us both as i never been in water like that with a horse :)
