The Real Start of Summer

So, officially, I feel as though summer has begun. The weather, the outdoor activities, the daily urges to go to the beach or any body of water to cool down, and sadly enough the boredom. In recent discussion the memories of just being a kid during summer came up. I remember when just being able to wake up and go play games outside meant everything to me. It's amazing how such simplicity can entertain a child for hours on end. This summer has kicked off with flipping burgers and, if I must be honest, numerous wastes of gas. I still enjoy simple things like bike rides with friends, barbeques, and trips to the lighthouse, but now it just doesn't seem like enough. Hopefully some excitement will come about sooner rather than later, or maybe we'll have to stick with simple for the summer. I haven't taken many photos so far this summer but here are just a few from the past couple of weeks.
