WO, I drive my friends and family nuts, as I go hiking by myself. I always tell them the general area I am in, take my gps and cell phone, but cell phones do not work in many of the areas I go. I have hiked with friends, but honestly prefer to go by myself with the dog. I have had many adventures.
We don't go to the pool much, difficult child never did learn how to swim, and really just gets into trouble their with other kids and has ticked off quite a few adults there too.
Every year we have a bbq on the fourth of july, lots of fireworks, and it is fun. Seems many of our friends are taking different paths, so I am not sure if it will be as large this year, but hopefully should still be fun.
As for the A/C? We have yet to reach 80 this year, but trust me it will be on.
