Summa, Summa, Summatime

24 May

Summer is on its way and I can almost feel. I love summer. I love the warmth, the bbqs, the patio drinking with friends. I just love it.  After a brutal winter I bet there are tons of people who feel the same way. I was looking at my calendar and realized that even though summer hasn’t officially started I already have quite a few things booked.

A couple weeks ago I bought a tent and last week I decided to do a test run and put it up.  The damn thing took up my whole living room (my living room isn’t big to begin with but still). I bought Coleman 6 Person Instant Dome Tent, it was on sale at Target for $112. I bought a six person tent because I figured once the air mattress and bags are in we’d still have ro20140518_202844om to walk around and change. I’m also hoping it will last us while. We already have three camping trips scheduled for the summer. Oh and I also found s’mores kits.
I CANNOT WAIT!!!

Last weekend Me, Lola, and Shaunie decided to go look at costumes for Caribana. Caribana is a yearly festival that happens here in Toronto during the August long weekend. This year it will take place August 2nd.  It is one of the biggest Caribbean festival. It’s a large party that takes place on the lakeshore with tons of colourful costumes and great vibes, plus it brings millions of dollars into the city. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to play again this year but then more I heard people talking about it, the more I realized I’d regret it if I didn’t. Anyways we decided to play with Saldenah again like we did last year. We agreed on a costume and it is beautiful.

So far the summer is looking great and I will try my best to document it.
