I've always really like playing volley ball. I'm not very good at it but I think it's a fun sport. When my friends and I drove down to the lake I thought, o we should have brought a volley ball, because they have beach volley ball courts there. To my surprise S came prepared, and surprised us with a volley ball! We played for an hour or so and it was a really fun game. I need to work on my skills though! haha
One of the things I love about summer is the spontaneity of each day. That being said I think it's great to have a list of things you want to do, but when they just happen, like volley ball or ice cream sandwiches or even the photo booth, it makes it that much more fun and exciting.

#86. Get Dressed Up Head to Toe for Canada Day!
My Canada Day's never turn out the way I've wanted them to. This year I set some pretty low standards and I'm glad I did. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud to be Canadian! I think I am very blessed to live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I embrace my heritage and love that I have freedom. But some how every July 1st, something goes wrong.
This year things were looking up! I went to the park with L and S and we played some beach volley-ball! (cross that off the list). We stat by the water and caught up, tried to make plans for the evening to come.
Later that day L and I met up with K and we got dressed up with red flip flops, white pants, red tops, gold and red make up and we even bought some temporary tattoos of Canadian flags and little maple leaves. We took pictures, had a couple drinks, saw some fireworks and then went to the bar.
Here's where things started to turn around: the bar we went to was DEAD. I've never seen it so empty! This put us all in a sketched out mood. L wanted to go to her boy toy's house since he was leaving for the rest of the summer the next day. I was so exhausted from a week straight of partying and very little sleep. K was getting rattled because this was her only night off this weekend and she rarely gets to come out and party with us. In the end we all got in a fight and ended up going to our respected houses.
Looking back at the big picture it was a decent day/evening. It's too bad we didn't make plans ahead of time and that I didn't take a long enough nap that day.

#48. BBQs
BBQs are one of the best parts about summer! Who doesn't love a nice hot dog or burger hot off the grill? Last summer I probably consumed my body weight in burgers - no lie.
This summer I think I've been to at least 5 BBQs! This past week we hosted one, I'm going to another one at my uncle's in a couple days, and next week we're having a BBQ for my sister's graduation party. SO MUCH GOOD FOOD!!!! #superpumped
It's important to remember that when you're having a BBQ, variety is key. People like different things:
You've got the simpler people who enjoy the classic hot dog or burger;
You may have the vegetarian who prefers the veggie shish kabob;
There's always the loud uncle or older cousin who demands the biggest steak;
And then there's the rando - who you don't even know how you're related - who "only eats fish or chicken"
You also have to have more than just juicy meat at your BBQ. You need different salads, drinks, desserts, that sort of thing.
Oh gotta go! Food's ready!

#39. Make Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients
1. Cookie Dough
2. Ice Cream
3. Sprinkles, or Chocolate Chips to Decorate
Last week I purchased the ingredients to make Ice Cream Sandwiches at home. Ice Cream Sandwiches are probably one of the greatest inventions of all time. Who ever thought: let’s make a sandwich out of the two most delicious desserts, is a genius! Anyways I bought the cookie dough and went over to my friend E’s house (she had the ice cream) and we thought that we’d taste the cookie dough before making the cookies. Well one bite led to another and the next thing you knowwww – there was no more cookie dough left.
TAKE TWO!
After work this week I came home and our family friends were over for a dinner party. After some very spectacular BBQ my mom brought out dessert which was an assortment of fruits and some cakes and YES! HOME MADE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES! - AMAZING! Huge hit with the party! #welldonemom
#14. Concert(s)
GLEE
When a girl from worked asked me if I wanted to go to the Glee concert with her, I looked directly at her and said, very seriously, “You better not be joking.”
Thank goodness she wasn’t! The following week the two of us when to “Glee Live” at the ACC in Toronto! The show was awesome! And let me tell you, Puck is WAY HOTTER in real life! I sung to me... Well I was kind of far away but I pretended he was singing to me.
The whole cast is really talented! I can’t believe what amazing dancers Britney and Mike are! Just incredible!! I honestly got chills when Mercedes, Rachel and Kurt sang.
Love the show, loved the concert, I’m excited for a new season!
