Summer 2016. It was pretty epic. I'll be honest- I didn't knock everything off of my summer bucket list. I never had that water balloon fight. It was far too hot to attempt any picnics. Swing dancing never seemed to work out, and I didn't make a single smoothie. But I spent lots of time with awesome people. I had my first campout. The amount of ice cream that I consumed was insane, lake days were plentiful, and I finally painted my room. It's impossible to do everything, but I did do a LOT of awesome things. I'm not ready to be back in the swing of life, not ready for fall weather, not ready in general- but I'm glad to be able to say that it was a full, wonderful summer. ♥
