Christian: What a great summer
I've decided that some regret about the passing of summer is inevitable for me. This has been, upon survey, a great summer so far. We've been "busy," but always doing fun stuff. Yesterday we went to the zoo and to Beth's parents' house for an outdoor barbecue. Friday night was a Whitecaps game. Thursday night we stayed in with a sick cat, but Tuesday had been a softball game and Monday was dinner with Julie and Pete.
And that's pretty much how every week has been. We haven't been home much because we've been doing stuff. Even so, I look at the calendar and think, "July 22? Where did summer go?! Hurry, pack in more activities!"
The urgency is somewhat mandated by West Michigan climate. These three months of summer are precious to me, because the other nine months can unbearably long and cold. But in the summer time, it's warm and sunny for almost three straight months.
I still have lots of bike riding to do, recipes to cook, and sights to see. We recently decided that before we leave Grand Rapids, we want to have done all the major activities and seen all the major sights there are to see here in GR. So we've compiled a list and are slowly working our way down it. Maybe I'll write about that later. For now, happy summer!
