Those sound like fabulous things to do during the summer. I love it. It's true -- real life is totally less exciting. Thanks for your comment!

Been catching up on some of your posts as work has quieted down (another advantage to summer) and I wanted to say that I loved this post because it reminded me of all the long-lost summers I had growing up. There is nothing like: Hearing the school bell chime in at 3pm at the end of June and running off with your friends into a blissful two months of biking to the corner store for ice cream; Going to the beach and doing nothing for days on end; The way the coolness of an air conditioned movie theatre hits you as you walk into a matinee show on a hazy July afternoon; Staying up late, sleeping over at someone's house and trying to conjure up dead spirits with a Ouija board; and ...about a million other amazing things about summer. I keep telling myself that one year I will take the full summer off from my job and spend it just like I did back in those days. Real life just isn't as fun in the summer is it? Malinda!

Going to the beach and doing nothing for days on end;

The way the coolness of an air conditioned movie theatre hits you as you walk into a matinee show on a hazy July afternoon;

Staying up late, sleeping over at someone’s house and trying to conjure up dead spirits with a Ouija board; and

…about a million other amazing things about summer.

I keep telling myself that one year I will take the full summer off from my job and spend it just like I did back in those days. Real life just isn’t as fun in the summer is it?
