Top 2 Tuesday : Top 2 Favorite Things about Summer


This week's topic over at The Undomestic Momma is Top 2 Favorite Things about Summer. Hello I have like a top 242 things I love about summer, but I won't make you read all that! My lovely invisible friend, Neely, came up with this weeks topic which makes it even better!

1. Driving around with my windows down, sunroof open and good music on!

That's my papa's car and my sweet little Cammie! Yes, he is the whole reason I bought a new Camaro, and although I'd much rather be driving his, I do love my car!

2. Spending Sundays by the pool enjoying fresh, cold hoolia-ritas. 

What's that you say... you've never had a hoolia-rita before? Best drink ever, named after a family friend who introduced us to the concoction... simply take a can of frozen lemonade concentrate and pour it into a pitcher, fill that can up with vodka and poor it into the pitcher, pour in a Corona (one bottle) and a Sprite (one can). Mix and serve. Seriously the best marga-vodka-beer-arita concoction you'll ever have!
(Photo from a few years ago, but that's me and my pup Spencer lounging... and yes, he really does love to float around like that, he'll hop onto a raft without any help nowadays!)

What are some of your favorite summertime activities? Link up and play along!  I also enjoy going to baseball games, hanging out on the canal, having cookouts, enjoying drinks on the patio, running around my yard barefoot and spending lazy, sunny days relaxing with friends!

Oh how could i forget driving around with windows down? Maybe its because we can do that in TX in may but come June its 110 degrees and air must be blasting! Love your choices Chelsea!!!

i live for the warmest day in the spring that i can roll down the windows and blast music - my favorite!
we used to love that drink when we went to the bay - our family friends called them hop-skip- and go-naked... i'm pretty sure that the hop is the beer, skip is the lemonade- and well the vodka speaks for itself... so refreshing!
