my summer, so far off.

It's nearing the halfway point of summer, August 1st, a date that I absolutely detest. I haven't done most of what I've planned, like getting a gym membership after Canada day, it's now July 23rd... but I have had a lot of fun. So let's recap! Here are the best bits of my summer, so far. (In chronological order)

#1 - Taking a day trip into Toronto with Alison, Tamika, and Tamara! We took the ferry over to centre island for half the day and then wandered around downtown before finishing the day at the harbour front. (Watch the video, it's a complete summary of the day.) 

#2 Tamara's Birthday Party.  I didn't know 2/3 of the people there, but it ended up being a ton of fun. Even if I made the worst footwear choice in the history of footwear choices. 

It ended up being outdoors...

The wonderful birthday girl.

#3 Swimming. It may not seem like the most exciting thing ever, but I've spent so much time hanging around the pool with my little sisters, and spending time with them has been glorious.

#4 Finally, FINALLY reading The Great Gatsby. This novel quickly became one of my favourites, and I'm so happy I finally read it. 

#6 Going to Wasaga Beach. This was my first time going to a real beach, and it was spectacular, even if I did get burnt to a crisp. (I'll have you know I was wearing layers and layers of spf 30) The sky was cloudless all around the beach, the water had the perfect amount of waves, and the breeze was absolutely magnificent. 

Before the wonderful day and the horrible burn.

the beach + the shins = perfection

Tamika looked cute as hell.

So those are the highlights of my summer so far off, and I cannot wait for what else is in store!                    

(Like losing my concert virginity to Coldplay tomorrow/this evening!!)
