Summer!!
A five or so month reprieve from chopping, stacking, and bringing in firewood.
Seeing Maddie learn to swim.
Buying a ton of fireworks and setting them off at the lake on July 4th.
No longer making car payments. Can cross this one off though as we received our title in the mail last week! Woo Hoo!
Fresh tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, squash, peas, beans, onions, carrots, watermelon, pumpkin, broccoli, corn, sunflowers, peanuts, lettuce, basil, rosemary, thyme, chives, mint, garlic, and oregano from our huge garden. We added asparagus and artichokes this year too. Not to mention the roses, glads, and all the other flowers blooming in our yard. The lawn is already greening up beautifully and had to be mowed last weekend.
The 6 CD Disneyland set.
The new 50th Disneyland DVD.
Tioga pass opening up so we can go to Yosemite as much as possible in our
paid off convertible!
And the big one...
In August spending a day at Seaworld and dining with Shamu. Visiting the Wild Animal Park followed by...
7 days and eight nights at Disneyland!! Our first time staying at the DLH(well, 5 nights at Carousel and 3 nights at DLH. 8 nights at the DLH was CRAZY expensive). Eating every night in great restaurants as there is a dearth of them here in Dogpatch and I budgeted heavily for dining(and single malt).
Balcony seats for Fantasmic! Two character breakfasts. New parades, fireworks, Space Mountain, Buzz, ToT, a sparkling park, and Madeline being tall enough for everything but Indy and Screamin'. All made the sweeter by not being able to go last year due to financial obstacles(that sucked).
Its going to be a swell summer. I think we are enjoying the anticipation as much as we will enjoy the actual trips and such!
