Summer!

Maeve graduated from Pre-K last week. Julia graduates from Kindergarten tomorrow. While both of those things make me feel like time is going too fast, they also mean:

SUMMER IS HERE!

I've always loved summer - probably because I've been a student for the past 25 years and summer meant no school. However, in the past few years I've realized that, in Buffalo, summer is short, and every warm, sunny moment must be soaked up and used wisely.

In order to maximize my summer fun, I've made a list of all the things I want to do this summer.

My Summer To-Do List (in no particular order):

1. Walk the break wall. I've wanted to do this for years, and I'm determined to do it this summer.
2. Go to the Drive-In. There are a million movies I want to see (Judy Moody, Mr. Popper's Penguins, X-Men, Green Lantern, Cars 2, Kung-Fu Panda 2)
3. Go Camping. Somewhere near real bathrooms, because I can't pee in the woods.
4. Get Married.
5. Have a wedding.
6. Go to the zoo. I haven't been all year.
7. Go to the aquarium. I haven't been since I was about 8.
8. Get a new niece or nephew.
9. Spend an entire day in my backyard playing with the dogs, sitting in the sun, drinking beer.
10. Go to a Bisons game. Preferably a Friday one, for the fireworks.
11. Shakespeare in the Park.
12. Walk somewhere to get ice cream. Soft vanilla with rainbow sprinkles.
13. Ride my bike. Maybe to get ice cream.
14. Italian Fest, Taste of Buffalo, Grease-pole festival.
15. Eat at the Hatch and walk along the water.
16. Eat at restaurants I've never been to.
17. Sit on patio's and have dinner/drinks.
18. Go to the Navy Boats.
19. Thursday in the Square.
20. Wash my car - inside and out.
