So I've been obsessing over Summer lately.
I mean, I've always absolutely LOVED Summer,
but this snow is gettin' on my nerves lately,
and making me miss it even more.
First it was like 2 feet deep, then Mother Nature
decides to rain and turn it all into slush.
It's disgusting. I hate snow. Like, it's pretty and all that
when it's not all dirty and slushy and what not,
but unfortunately...it's all dirty and slushy...
and what not.
One of the main things I look forward to the most in the Summer time,
is the county fair. The smell of buttery popcorn and horse manure
is surprisingly not that bad of a smell. It smells like home to me.
One of my most favorite things to do with my girls at the fair is go to
the Motocross Arena and sit on that old fence hootin' at the
sexy motocross boys! Just sittin there on the fence dangling our cowboy
boots and soakin up the sun! It's the best :) Me and my two bestfriends
usually decide what to wear about a week before we go.
Even though we usually just end up wearin daisy dukes, a t-shirt, a flannel,
or just some regular cute shirt, along with either flip-flops or cowboy boots,
we still get extremely excited about it every year :) Hopefully this summer
I can find my cute country boy! The rides at the fair get less exciting to me
each year. It's usually the boys, the motocross, and the food I'm interested in now!
It's the best.
Every summer on July 20-23 In my hometown, Ione, Washington, we have a
three day event called Down River Days. Ione is a very small town were
almost everybody knows everybody, so it's really fun!
Anyways, at the park there's usually snow mobile races across the river,
little booths around everywhere selling jewelry, candles, Hawaiian Ice!
(My personal favorite!) and so much other things :) Oh and don't forget the hot dogs!
On the river, there's this dock sort of thing, Not really sure if its and big ole' cement
square or a dock cause I've never really been down on that particular area,
but they have singing, and a guy calling over the intercom about who's winning
the races and what not! It's so fun!
Usually after that me and my family go down to my great grandparents house
because the river is in their backyard. They play country music, the adults drink beer,
the kids and teenagers of the family go down to the river and swing off the
rope swing. There's usually a little kid or two..or six, running around
causin trouble! My cousin is usually playing the guitar on the little wooden stage
singing oldie country songs. It's always so fun being around all your family, knowing
that's where you belong. And that they're all connected to you somewhere along the line.
It's the best feeling ever.
On the third day, everybody in town..well, the old people usually stay home for this, but at night,
there's a street dance! They set up a little stage in the middle of the street wich is usually
the back of a decked out truck, and have a band to play. There's people dancing in the
whole street! All the bars are open on the side of the street, and there's always the
occasional redneck bar fight going on in at least one of them! It's so much fun. If i don't bring
along a friend, i usually just hang out with my cousin and his friends so I always got something to do!
Well, either that or my mom asks me to watch my two little brothers so they don't run off!
So I usually end up dancing with my little brothers, twirling them around and laughing my head off!
I tell you what, if there is only eight things in this world I love more than anything that I could name
off the top of my head, it would be Summer, the river, the county fair, Down River Days,
Country boys, Cowboy boots, Family and friends! :)
So uhh....I basically miss Summer...Alot.
