The weather is getting better, warmer and beautiful. I am looking forward to the summer. I am not a huge fan of the heat, and I hate working when it is nice out. But I love the longer days, I love the smells and sights of summer. I love having options and being outside. With Sawyer being older this summer, I am hoping we can have lots of fun.
So, with that in mind, I am writing my summer wishlist. I plan to come back to this list in September, to see how much I actually got done.
1. Take the kids to the beach at least once.
2. Go to the Zoo.
