My cousin Tina made a list of what she's looking forward to as summer approaches and inspired me to make my own:

• my first soft-serve ice cream of the year
• my first cold coffee from Lili & Oli
• long bike rides along the river
• sitting on the balcony and watching the action on the street
• camping and hiking
• sleeping without sheets and blankets
• icy lemonade
• the excitement in the air at school as teachers and students get more and more excited for the end of the year
• long, long days!
