Summer To-Do List

"Another list?" you ask. At this point in our readerly relationship, it shouldn't come as a shock, hehe :)

Summer To-Do List:

1. Go to our neighborhood swimming pool at least ONCE. And maybe even get in ;)

2. Mix-up a new sweet and cold summer cocktail (it may just be the "Skip," Rachel and Kyle!)

Recipe for Skips:
1 can of frozen pink lemonade concentrate.
In place of water, use vodka.
Mix in 2 light beers, a la Bud Light.

3. Eat more peanut butter. LOTS MORE.

13. Learn some Spanish phrases for summery things:

"¡Qué  hermoso dia!" = "What a beautiful day!"
"Vamos a compartir un día de campo?" = "Shall we share a picnic?"
"Vamos a ver la puesta del sol." = "Let's watch the sun set."

14. Wear a big hat.

JUST KIDDING on that last one! For now, at least ;)

What are some DOs on your list this Summer???

  1. You listed EVERY. SINGLE. thing that I want to do this summer too. (Except that hair thing... I've always wanted a short and shaggy cut, but I'm too chicken to try it right now.) Plus hopefully we'll get a new house and jobs for both the husband and me.

    ¡Es caliente hoy! (It is HOT today!)
