Top 5

Several summers ago, while driving home from a quick work-related trip to Vernon, a city 40 minutes to the north, my brother Tyler and I started talking about our favourite things. We each tried to narrow our lists into a Top 5 after establishing some ground rules (mainly not being allowed to include things like air, food, water, etc. or ideas like freedom that nearly every human being appreciates). This was solely based on the unessential items we love, not the necessary ones.

This weekend my siblings and I went camping with three of our friends. Yesterday, while we were sitting around the campsite talking, Ty and I brought up our Top 5's. I'm pretty sure our original lists had at least a couple favourite food items on them, but not anymore. Here's Tyler's current list. And here's mine:

1. Wind
2. Bodies of water (large enough to swim in: rivers, lakes, oceans)
3. Mountains
4. Books
5. Aurora Borealis/Lightning (too close to just pick one)

So, what's your Top 5?
