I just wanted to indulge you in some of my goings on of this wonderful season that we like to refer to as summer. So far I've: went to Caseville, went camping, kayaked, went miniature golfing, grilled on the beach, went swimming in the water in my parents' backyard, went to Grand Rapids, had a fourth of July cookout, went biking and running, saw the sunset on the waters of Lake Huron, saw Fireworks on the water, had game nights, played frisbee, played catch in the pond, went to a Greek Festival, went to the Art Walk, had a campfire with s'mores, stayed up way past my bedtime, volunteered with a mission in Pontiac, helped with Vacation Bible School, started Summer classes and of course I worked a few hours in between.
All in a few months. I can't believe in about a month in a half or so Summer will be over. It seems like it just started two seconds ago. I don't understand the momentum of time, but I guess I've gotten used to it. It's a cliche, but I feel like as I get older time speeds by even faster. I don't know what it is or how it works, but that's just the ways of the world that we live in I guess. I guess I'm just being introspective. As I like to say, it happens.
So now that I'm taking summer classes, you would think that I would lay off all the crazyness. Not so much. This weekend I'm going rock-climbing. That'll be interesting. I also always make time to go to my parents' house a couple times a week to cool off with a swim in their pond. It's usually pretty nice especially on these hott, July days.
One of the things that I'm thankful for is chances to hang out with friends. I was able to do that last weekend which was really nice. My one friend lives in Grand Rapids so we don't get to see each other as often as I would like, but that's okay because we got to go camping this last weekend which was nice. We were able to do a little hiking and we roasted s'mores.
I also was able to hang out with another friend of mine last weekend. We had dinner at his place and then we went and got icecream (another thing I've done this summer.) Then we watched Harry Potter (my nice little plug for the movie that's coming out this weekend that I won't be seeing until the hype has died down a little bit).
I'm going to be doing a few things in August. I find that August tends to get busy because people want to get in as much as they can before the summer is over with. That works and all, but there's only so much time in a month. It'll be fun, though. A couple of my family members are going to be going to the Cheeseburger Festival up in Caseville. We go to that just about every year. There's good times to be had there (that and beautiful sunsets as I mentioned).
All right. Well, that's a good summation of what I've been doing lately. I'll let you know if anymore interesting stuff happens.
Later, Gator.
