This or That...Summer Edition!


Oh goodness, friends. I have so many things to tell you! It's been a most eventful week around here, but until I can get to those stories, I thought we could have a little fun!

I love all the fun "this or that" questions I see on Instagram, so I thought we could do a summer edition of it here on the blog today!

1. Ice Cream Truck or Slushie Truck?
Ice cream truck all the way! Although...I'm actually not sure I've ever gotten ice cream from an ice cream truck, so suddenly I feel like I need to make a bucket list adjustment. But oh my. How I love ice cream. I would pick it over a slushie any and every day of the week!

2. Sunscreen or tanning oil?
Sunscreen! I've never been a tanning oil kind of girl. (I actually usually pick air conditioning over both of those, so that saves some time. Ha!) I do remember when I was a kid, though, that our neighbor girls, who were in their late teens/early twenties, were all about the tanning oil. They lathered up and hung out in the backyard all summer long!

3. Fly to the beach or road trip?
I don't think I'm ready to fly anywhere yet, so road trip! But can I still go to the beach? Because I think that would be a splendid vacation! (And by beach, of course, I mean a private one where I can just take naps under umbrellas!)

4. Water park or pool?
Pool! But Ryan loves water parks, so we go to them now and then. I'm really good at documenting from the observation deck. I do love a pool, though.

5. Watch sunrise or watch sunset?
I have seen a lot of sunrises lately, but I am such a fan of sunsets. When we were on our honeymoon, we watched sunsets at the beach every single night. Never gets old.

6. Picnic at sunset or cookout with friends?
Can I have both? I really don't know how to choose between those! I guess I would default to cookout with friends, because sunset here is about 10 p.m. and there's no way I could wait that long for dinner!

7. Zoo or fair?
AHHHH! Another tough one! I love them both! I'm such an overgrown kid, so I love a proper day at the zoo - especially the aquarium! But I do love the fair - and the fried mushrooms!

8. Lemonade or iced tea?
Iced tea!! I enjoy lemonade, but if I have to choose between the two, I'm going iced tea all the way. Also, I'm glad to be able to drink lemonade again! During those 15 years of undiagnosed gallbladder issues, I couldn't handle any citric acid, so lemonade was out of the question for me!

9. Sunflower field or strawberry picking?
I love a beautiful sunflower field, so I'll pick that one. (I enjoy eating strawberries more than picking them!) I still remember the summer Ryan and I took the tour of the sunflower oil farm operation, and we got to take a wagon ride through the fields of flowers. They were GORGEOUS!!!

10. Watermelon or pineapple?
Watermelon! I love pineapple too, but I adore watermelon more. It's one of the few foods Ryan doesn't like, so we don't get them too often. (Only because I could probably eat the entire thing at one meal, so I choose not to create a situation for myself.)

How about you? Any favorites from this list?

Ice cream and watermelon! I do miss good old NJ water ice (so not a slushie!). I usually am up for both sun rise and set - so love those!!

If you are looking for an ice cream food truck, I highly recommend The Eis Wagon. You have to follow them on FB so you will know where they will be when they decide to do a pop up (usually in Gas City or Marion). Here is their page:

How fun, I might steal this! I’m with you on the watermelon, I always eat way too much in one sitting when we buy one!
