This summer, I am still trying to find time to spend more time at the river. We have not been there as much as I would like, definitely going to make this a priority 🙂

Not something I necessarily need but I would LOVE to have an innertube/ raft/ floaty thing of some sort for when I decide to swim out to the middle of the lake and all of the sudden feel very unsafe relying only on myself not to sink. Lol. A need would actually be sunscreen, I’m still using last year’s bottle and it’s definitely not as effective/ a little expired now.

I am still wanting to get a patio set umbrella. We have a set but didn’t get the umbrella and I wish I had. We spend a lot of time on our deck and I wish that I could block the sun better.
