It may be a different summer, but it can still be a fun one

Words cannot describe the beauty and joy of this photo, but Candice Gordon tried when submitting the pic of her daughter Emma:

"I snapped this photo of my daughter two days ago being a kid ... sunshine, slip n slide, popsicles and playing out front all day! It made me think of "The Face of Summer", or at least what it was like during summers when I grew up! So happy to give these moments to our daughter ... good 'ol fashioned fun!"

Candice is now eligible for the Photo of the Month award in our "Menifee in Pictures" contest.
