Today was the first day of summer, and there was frost on the ground.
Gísli told me that frost on the first day of summer is a good sign and it would be a good summer.
So it is a public holiday and everyone gets the day off.
Marcia told me that the kids were supposed to buy the kids a summer toy for a present. She brought something over for each of the boys. I did not know, so they got nothing form me.
It was a great day anyways. We were all together with the day off and we went out to Inga and Robs place.
I hope the rest of the summer is this fun.
It isn't a 'must', more like a tradition for parents or grandparents to buy something or give a special treat to the youngsters in the family on the first day of summer. Your gift of time pleasantly spent together as a family was far greater than any little toy! Hope you all had a wonderful day! :)
