A List of Our Summer Adventures

Ilinap · June 4, 2013 ·

Summer break is upon us. I look forward to this with visions of hammock lying and puddle jumping. I play scenes in my head of running through bucolic fields and giggling in mounds of dirt. We actually do not have a hammock. Whenever there are puddles there’s lightning. I hate … [Read more...] about A List of Our Summer Adventures
