Top Ten Reasons Why I Loved Summer . . . (and was too busy to write)



So, I'm back. The leaves have started to turn here in P-town and the rain will soon follow. No worries, I've got my Curious George rain coat and shiny green galoshes at the ready...is there a better time to blog? I'm so sorry that I kept you all in the dark this summer. Walking has proved to be quite thrilling. Thrilling for my parents as well! No more plopping me down on a blanket with some books and blocks. I'm on the move - and so are they. In an effort to catch everyone up, I've decided to share with you my top ten reasons why I loved summer. Take note, these are in chronological order, not by rank. BUT, I have to say, if I had to choose my favorite...well, you be the judge.

Happy Fall Everyone!

Love, Big T.
