Have a Super Sonic Summer

So we have previously published a post about our summer kick off at Sonic but as it turns out we were done so here's part 2:
Our summer kick off has actually now involved 3 trips to Sonic.  The three stages of a great summer kick off include half price shakes after 8pm, slushes during Happy Hour, and 50 cent corn dogs and National End of School Day.  We have officially completed the triple crown.  We have already related the tale of our delicious shakes.  On Memorial Day we spent several hours hiking and on our way back to town decided that a refreshing drink would hit the spot, and yes, it was between the hours of 2 and 4pm so Sonic Happy Hour was the obvious choice.  Arthur ordered a sweet green tea and I indulged in a green apple slush.  Later in the week Sonic had 50 cent corn dogs to celebrate the end of school.  Like I said earlier we are not impacted by the end of the school year but corn dogs is reason enough to celebrate.  I was doubly excited since this meant I wouldn't have to fix supper.  We walked down to Sonic, ordered a bag of delectable corn dogs, and had a picnic.  The ironic thing was that our topic of conversation throughout dinner was paleo diets. (Paleo diets are focused on eating natural meats and produce, avoiding processed food items and grains-- especially processed meat on a stick covered with a grain based fried batter.) We decided that if you can't eat corn dogs it can't be that much fun.  We then strolled across town with me rambling on about how much I love summer, especially sitting on the porch in the evening.  We currently don't have much of a porch to sit on and not a lot of activity to watch from our porch so we walk around and look at everyone else's front porches.  We ended up at the pool and purchased our swim passes for the year.  On the way home we talked about all we have planned and want to do this summer-- go canoeing, hike some mountains, enjoy a few good books, eat ice cream, listen to the city band concerts, grow tomatoes, eat burgers, etc.  Stay tuned for reports from our upcoming Super Sonic Summer.  Omnia Vincit Amor.
