June 20, 2012…the first day of summer!  The day when the sun is as far North as it’s going to get.  It’s the day with the most sunshine of the year!  Some call it the longest day, but in reality, it still only has 24 hours in it, just a lot more sunshine.

In the world of bizarre holidays it’s “National Ice Cream Soda Day”!  That sounds good on a good hot summer day.

All over the world people are celebrating this day in different ways.  There is a big party at Stonehenge that started with the sunrise and will go all day long and into the night.  Big party!

In towns and cities across America there are various activities that are being carried on with the First Day of Summer as the theme.  Bike rides, walks, water spraying, fishing, splashing in pools, the list goes on and on.

How about home made ice cream soda!  That really sounds good to me.  It’s gotta be vanilla though.

I thought I would share with you some of the activities that happened at the Stonehenge party a few years ago.

Enjoy!  It appears that Stonghenge is the place where the sun first hits the earth on this day!  Let the party begin!
