Oh Summer...

Summer...

It has so many great expectation but just like a boyfriend you should not EXPECT your summer to go one way or the other. Because it has a way of doing it's own thing. You get swamped with work or you can't keep up on those household things and you can't find the time nor the energy to go and have that summer adventure. I expect so many things out of my summer great hikes, going new places, doing exciting things, but in reality sometimes you just want to get through summer because it's so hectic... Trying to find a balance between work and more work and family time and household responsibilities and just having some summer fun is hard. But yesterday I went on a great kayaking trip through the rough waters of Lake of the Woods. We went gliding through the lily pads with bright sunny flowers. It consisted of amazing company and even better conversation. And now that's what I call a summer outing.
