yay summer
this weekend is my family reunion, yay! i checked the weather last night and it was perfect – 85 each day with nightly lows of 60. i check again 10 mins ago and now it’s 95 each day with lows at 70. yuck! too warm for sleeping and fires. up until last year we set up the tents so they were even with the lake, so it was nice that the wind from the lake breezed in the tents in the morning, but last year we tented up on a hill due to a fire at the resort, and it was stiflingly hot. yuck! we were up every morning at 7:30 because it got so hot in the tents. i hope the spots down by the lake are open this year.
so i’m looking forward to boat rides and swimming and eating grandma’s donuts and hanging out by the fire and drinking beer with my cousins and the smell of sunscreen and getting sunburned and OFF and wearing sunglasses and swimming and seeing my siblings (minus liz 🙁 ) and eating decent food and not wearing shoes and laughing and did i say swimming and the smell of lake and the sun and the breeze in the trees and riding in the boat and not working and hey, swimming and my toes in the sand and nummy drunken sandwiches and the anticipatory drive there and watching the trees turn from oaks and maples into birches and pines and swimming….
i am not looking forward to not seeing my cat for 4 days, not seeing nate for 4 days, and having to be in the company of anthony and sam for 4 days.
oh, and HP is sooo coming with me. i don’t care if people look at me weird. it’s BOOK SEVEN. get over it.
