Summer Lovin'

I always feel like once the 4th of July hits the rest of summer just speeds by! We've had such a great time already this summer but we still have some things to check off our list!

Like:

• Go on vacation-We are doing this next week!
• Celebrate our 5th anniversary by skipping town without Drake for the weekend-Happening this month
• Celebrate my birthday-Just so happens I we will be celebrating this while we celebrate our anniversary since my birthday is the 24th and our anniversary is the 23rd
• Do it up right for Drake's 1st Birthday-Big party is July 31st...so excited
• Take Drake to the Iowa State Fair-Seriously, the.best.fair in the country
• Have a picnic
• Take Drake swimming again
• Play with sidewalk chalk
• Have more bonfires
• Stay out too late having driveway beers with the neighbors
• Let Drake have ice cream in a cone for the first time
• Go on long bikes rides with Drake in tow in our new bike trailer
• Go to the park
• Take Skinner swimming
• Drink big cold glasses of lemonade
• Get a pedicure and have my nails painted the brightest color I can find

I think those things should keep us busy for awhile! I love traditions and hope to make all the items above things we celebrate and look forward to every summer!

What do you have left on your summer to-do list?

One more thing-Can you spare a vote?!?
