Hey everyone, it’s Heather. So this week’s theme on Seven Perfect Angels is expectations versus reality. So I’m so excited to show you my skit, which is summer expectations versus reality.

So, let’s get started.

All right, Eric, get the camera ready. I’m about to catch dinner!

All right, Eric, get the camera ready. I’m about to catch us some dinner!

Oh, well, I’m sure we’ll still catch a fish.

A weed? Really?

Time for some summer reading.

Huh. What a great book!

Let’s see what else I can read.

6. Expectation: No Responsibilities

It’s finally summer vacation. I’m so excited. Now, I don’t have any responsibilities. And I can just sit back, and do whatever I want.

Ha. This is the life.

6. Reality

It’s finally summer break. I’m so excited just to be able to sit down and do whatever I want.

This is the life . . .

Mother: “Not so fast, Heather. Here are the chores I’d like you to do in the next hour.”

Seriously?

9. Expectation ~ Tanning

What a perfect day to tan. No wind and pure sun.

This is the best.

9. Reality

How is this considered tanning, when there’s not even any sun?

I’m done with this.

10. Expectation ~ Swimming

Woo-hoo!

I’m going to jump in again!

Woo-hoo!

Wow, the water is so warm!

I just love swimming in the lake.

10. Reality

Ah!!! That’s cold! Make sure there’s no fish.

Okay, I can’t do this!

Ugh! Something just touched my foot. Was that a weed? I don’t know, but it was slimy. Eww!

Hey everyone, it’s Heather, so I really hope you guys enjoyed my summer expectations versus reality video this week.
