An Erie-sistible Summer

Hi Everyone!
The Summer Group =)

So far, my summer in Erie has been SO MUCH FUN!  I always heard how summers in Erie are the best and now I totally understand why!  Although my friends and I have been busy working, we've still managed to find lots of free time for some fun (even if it means coordinating around my weekend work shifts).
Sunsets and beach tans <3

Probably one of the best (and free!) things that we've been fully taking advantage of is several visits to Presque Isle.  4th of July weekend was so much fun because I think my friends and I went every day!  Whether it be tanning in the afternoons or going to some of the free concerts at night and watching the sunset, the beach has certainly proven to be a great place to have some guaranteed fun!

Never too old for a piggyback...
Speaking of 4th of July, my friends and I managed to keep busy with lots of fun on the 4th.  Jeremy, Joe, and I decided to go to Presque Isle to have a small bbq and then spend the day at the beach after.  After I diligently watched the boys learn how to cook on a charcoal grill (teehee!), we laid on the beach, tanned, and even went in the water because it was so hot out!  After, the three of us met up with some other friends and went to my roommate Lindsay's family picnic where we played volleyball, ate awesome food, and enjoyed the weather.

...or an icecream cone w/ sprinkles =)
And of course, what's 4th of July weekend without some fireworks?!  Although we opted to watch a movie in the apartment on the 4th, we did go to Waldameer Park (an amusement park by Presque Isle) to see fireworks and also put the cherry on top to a great night with a trip to Sara's, a burger and icecream shop by the beach.

Hope everyone's summer is going as awesome as mine is! =)
