Summer 2012

                                    Summer 2012


     Over the summer, I got to wake up late everyday. I mostly hung out with my friends and went down the shore a lot. I also spent most of my time with my sister because she went off to college this year. Summer basketball league also took up a majority of my summer. Most importantly, i stayed out of trouble. My summer was especially great this year and Summer 2012 might have very well been the best summer yet.
