TOP 2 TUESDAY...SUMMER FAVES!!


This weeks Top 2 Tuesday is 2 favorite things about
SUMMER!!

i pretty much heart every.little.thing about summer!!
i guess i'll attempt to narrow it...

1. cookouts!
summer drinks and foods are definitely faves!!!
fruity cocktails...
we spend a lot of time at my parent's house during the summer...

we enjoy fresh watermelon...

we grill every sunday, unless it's raining...
sometimes we even move the grill to the garage ;)
who doesn't love a yummy kabob...
hot dogs and burgers are always a fave!
chicken and steak are always in the mix as well...
we include lots of pasta salads and potato salad as well!

my absolute favorite summer food is corn on the cob!
LOVE IT!!
tastes the best grilled! delish!
2. swimming/laying out
this also takes place at my parent's house!
i quite literally spend all my free time at my parent's house in the summer!!
i love it over there and so do gus and billy!

even though gus is a big hair ball and black he insists on being outside with me.
sometimes we dip the pups feet in the pool too attempt to cool them off...
my sister, mom and i spend countless hours laying poolside over the weekends :)
dominic loves playing in the water as well, we usually set up a baby pool for him to play in.
i just love being around my family!!
living less than 5 minutes away from them allows us to spend a lot of time together.

i had more photos to share but the macbook is being lame tonight :(
okay time to eat, i'm starving after this post! ha!

head on over to the undomestic momma's blog to play along!!
