summertime......

....as summer is fast approaching.....the hubs and I have been talking about how we would like to get outdoors a bit more this summer..... and to try and encourage that, we have a few things on our list....such as:

1. camping....{I would love it if we could start in the backyard...go ahead and laugh at my wimpy ness....it's ok!.....and oh how I wish the campsite would look as sweet as this! }...although I don't think the boys would have it!. { I just showed them and they busted out laughing!}...

....would that count as camping? hah.....baby steps my friends.....

2. purchasing a hammock for the back porch or the trees ..... reading, naps and chats would happen there.......

3. this is my big wish for the summer....a tandem cayak.......I'm dying to cruise the lake....like a boss...

4. and we'll finish it off with a fire pit for backyard fires and smores...I have had one of these on my list for the past three years......I think it is time to cross this one off the list......

...so we'll see what all transpires......but these are a few of the things we are aiming for....

..and then, we have our cross country trip in July where we will be hitting such places as san fran, the grand canyon and some of the dives on route 66........to name a few.....we can hardly wait for that.......

...what are your plans for this summer?.......or are you there yet?.......
