Summertime...

So, we're IN to the summer vacation thing. And YAY! We've survived the big holiday and enjoying the fact that there really aren't any rushed early mornings and the day to day routine has basically been tossed to the wayside. The weather fluctuates and we experience super hot days or something a few degrees shy of Hell. The humidity makes someone instantly sweaty upon stepping outside and we love the rain, we hate the rain, I think the plants are all basically dead now.

The summer also brings about activities that really can't be done any other time of year. Things that I suppose you COULD do during any other time of the year, but things that just seem iconic and embody the feeling of "summertime". Bug catching and water balloons and sweating to death while cooking up a barbecue dinner on the grill. Summertime snowball fights and the mess it brings with it. Washing the car and running through the sprinklers and splashing around in a kiddie wading pool for shits and giggles. Rolling around in the cool grass and sitting in the shade, sipping on ice cold water after a game of running around and sweating your balls off.... Heat stroke and sunburn and dehydration. Well, those aren't fun things, but sometimes, they happen.

It all goes by so freaking fast though! One minute, people are complaining about how hot it is and the next, it's fucking snowing...... :s It'll be too soon.
