I can't resist asking...what is an "Arnold Palmer"? I love your list. Mine is similar except I live in FL so it's flip-flops year round. I grew up in MI though so I totally relate:-)

Watching the lightning bugs...sitting on the back porch and lighting the tiki torches....heading to the beach!

I love summer too! Coming from Puerto Rico I was used to the warm weather all the time. Now that we live in Colorado, we appreciate more the warm times.

When I walk around in flip flops I try to make them do the "flip flop" noise as loud as possible. :)

Your list is absolutely perfection... Flip flops every day is definitely one of the highlights of summer for me - I can't stand wearing shoes and apparently Princess Nagger is getting that from me - she always says she likes to 'air out her toes'... :)
