summer lovin’

It is that time of year! Summer lovin' with #DrumstickCone

The warm weather is sweeping in andย we’re loving it (or you could say “having a blast” – get it?!) Each season here in Colorado carries a different kind of beauty, but there is something about the longer evenings and the warmer weather that is truly magical! The other day we gathered after dinner and walked down to the park. We didn’t worry about a million layers or the sun setting all we worried about was keeping the dessert cold and remembering the Frisbee ๐Ÿ˜‰

These people. Oh! Where do I start. Megan still can’t believe it isn’t raining all the time. I keep reminding her that last May was not normal –ย but it is all she has known so we just got to get another Colorado May under her belt! Abby still has traces of Arizona in her which is why she has her Patagonia tied around her waist just in case but Colorado looks good on her! She was my camper who grew up into my friend – it’s a pretty magical story. Eagle Lake is awesome like that. You can tell that my niece is Colorado born & raised by rocking the tank top & shorts – she shares a May birthday with me so we always love to talk about how we are both May babies!ย Greta (my sister in law!!) lives in our neighborhood so we like to make them hang out with us ๐Ÿ˜‰ – nothing like brother / sister bonding time overย Nestlรฉยฎ Drumsticksยฎ! Josh is our basement dweller/ ย photo bomberย / guy with a man bun.ย That’s all I have to say about that ๐Ÿ˜‰

It is fun to have friends & family that live near by for the last minute dessert adventures in life. I filled up our cooler with some new Nestlรฉยฎ Drumstickยฎ Sโ€™mores (because SMORES!) It’s like camping but with put the tents and the fire – so it is way better for last minute sweet tooth ๐Ÿ˜‰ Haha! I picked them up at our local grocery store while I was doing or grocery shopping and they were such a hit! Sunshine, frisbee, andย Nestlรฉยฎ Drumstickยฎ Sโ€™mores #lifeisgoodย What are some of your favorite activities when the weather warms up?

Also apparently I get really winky in the summer – I just winked at you four times in this post!! HAHA! I’ll end with one more ๐Ÿ˜‰

    So fun!! Once it starts getting warm I just can’t be outside. When I was a teacher, I used to take papers to the park to grade during my prep periods. #cantstayinside ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Now I want a Drumstick! It’s been too long since I had one. And I am SO jealous of your Colorado scenery! We visited my brother-in-law in Colorado Springs over New Years and it is seriously such a gorgeous place. I’m used to flat Florida, so seeing mountains everywhere is so exciting to me!
