Oh my lanta it is hot out… day 5!

Well WNY, we did it! Today is supposed to be the last day of this intense heat wave, and our weekend is looking to be in the 80’s, as it should be! Since it is Friday and a fabulous weekend is upon us, I thought I’d compile a little “things to do list” for the weekend so you can take full advantage of the cool down weather!
