1. Friends
The feeling of hanging out without the pressure of school
assignments is amazing. Enjoy long
nights chatting, going to events, or driving around town without a plan or idea
as to where you might end up.
2. Bonfires
Hanging around the fire after the sun sets inspires great
conversation. You tell stories, laugh
until it hurts and create memories that will last a life time.
3. S'mores
And what bonfire is complete until the marshmallows and
chocolate have been opened?
4. Fireworks
Most commonly viewed around the Fourth of July, fireworks
are a beautiful nighttime spectacle. If you live in the country, you might hear them being shot off on any given night.
5. Baseball
The crack of the bat as it makes contact with the ball: there are few greater joys. Opening day truly signifies the beginning of the summer, for me. Whether you cheer for your favorite MLB franchise (Detroit Tigers!) or play for the summer league nearest to you, baseball is a sport that brings people together and builds community.
6. Sunshine and Sunglasses
We all know the feeling.
I can’t even begin to describe it.
7. A Good Book Under a Big Tree
Hours can be lost in the pages of a book. Especially if it is read under the comfort of a shady tree.
8. Fishing
A person can fish for sport, for fun, off a dock, in a boat, on the shore. No matter what kind of person you are, there is probably a style of fishing that suits you. Even if that means watching on the sidelines.
9. Stars
There is no better time for viewing stars than from the comfort of a warm night in the middle of summer. Best enjoyed with a comfy blanket and cool drink.
10. Iced Coffee
Let’s be honest: coffee is always delicious. This item could be on a list that pertains to fall, winter, spring
or summer!
11. Swimming
Your location of choice could be either the ocean, a lake,or a pool. No matter what, swimming is a fun way to cool off during the heat of the summer months.
12. Gardens
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is lost during the winter (unless you’re lucky enough to live where it’s gardening season all year long). Berry picking is a great family activity, and it teaches young children the benefits of having a garden. So many yummy dishes can be cooked with a tomato and pepper picked right from the plant a few minutes before going in the frying pan.
13. Flowers
They paint the world with their beautiful landscape.
