Summer Town, SL

I visited Summer Town USA before the Fourth of July (and like similar places -- the St. Pat's Town, etc.), there were some cute things to see and buy.  I especially liked marching in the parade (and the free marching outfit and instruments) as well as the fireworks, music, pie eating contest, cotton candy, and some of the games especially hopscotch and the sack race.  The drive-in was fun, also, even though I couldn't get the movie to play.  Here are some pics:













For good old summertime fun, this is a "cool" sim to visit.

Botanica's Butterfly Hunt

Although this is not a regular "site," it's worth mentioning because Cara holds regular hunts at her beautiful, low-prim garden center. I participated in the spring Easter Egg hunt, and the summer butterfly one is even more fun (and just as hard but worth the work).  A nice surprise was the free butterfly Fourth of July wings and fireworks on the Fourth. Here are some photos:
At the starting point, grab your butterfly collection cage (and net if you join the group)

In the butterfly house (where butterflies caught are released in exchange for a prize).  Notice wings can be attached.  The full beauty of them is on the back.




And here is the prize (wanna ride?)
