Summer THIRSTday

It's been several weeks, but the boys wanted to jump back into the book blogging memes with me. So today we share our summer smoothies (with grapes, blueberries, yogurt and a bit of ice cream for good measure) and good books!

As always, thanks to David at Eat The Book for getting this one going.
