Summer is here, and with the Fourth of July making their presence noticed with the smell of barbecues and sparklers, it is evident that we have reached the beginning of peak summer season. Hot days, long nights, and plenty of ice cream make this time of year most people’s favorites. Here are five summer traditions that you definitely do not want to miss out on.
1. Sparklers/Fireworks
Although most dominant on the Fourth of July, fireworks and sparklers can make any summer night pop. The beautiful lights create fun memories that make even better artsy instagram pictures.
2. Ice cream for dinner
We have all done it, and I guess the summer is when we allow it to slide the most. Get the extra scoop and skip dinner. Please do this more than once.
3. Playing in the waves at the beach
Has anyone else been totally swept up by 15 foot waves or is that just me? Waves are the best part of the beach. You’re not too cool to go swimming!!
4. Attending barbecues
Summer food is by far some of the best food out there. Easy meals and outdoor dining makes it all the more enjoyable. Hot dogs and macaroni salad anyone?
5. Possibilities
Summer is filled with possibilities. Two whole months with nothing but free time and the ability to create amazing memories. Be spontaneous, but don’t forget to appreciate the little things like hot dogs and that extra scoop of ice cream.
