Cucumber Canoe

Our car is stuffed full with kids and zucchini bread, and we are headed out to the Yosemite Valley for a weekend under the stars. 

I do not fear car trips any longer, not since XM Radio came into my life and we discovered Kids Place Live. With the volume turned up, my kids sit like *well behaved children*, quietly listening to songs and stories written only for them.  It's a road-trip game changer.  So I thought I'd share with you one of my new favorite songs.  This is one of the sweetest love songs I've ever heard and I've been humming it all day as I pack-up our little family of five and daydream about a weekend of camping, as well as all the magic that unfolded in the yard this week: purple figs, giant dahlias and curly cucumbers.  While I am not blind to the fact that the man singing does, in fact, play a ukulele and sing lead in a kiddie band, I can almost forgive him when his sweet and raspy voice starts singing for me to come away with him...on his cucumber canoe...

Have a great weekend!
