The Best Things About Summer

Summer is finally here and finally it is starting to feel like my favorite season.  Summer is such a great season in my opinion because everything is alive.  The trees are green and the afternoon thunderstorms light up the skies.  The summer breeze floats in through open windows and people are just energized by all the sunlight!  I think about all the things that make summer so splendid and goodness are there a lot.

• No school
• No waking up before the sun has risen (unless you want to)
• So much time to read lots of great books
• Time to write
• Otter Pops
• Tanning
• Working at the day camp
• Cute summer clothes
• Vacations (via airplane and the most adventurous: road trips)
• Stargazing
• Long walks in the late afternoon
• Watching movies when it gets too hot and cranking up the AC
• Sleeping with the window open
• Staying up late 
• Pretty sunsets that can be enjoyed
• Key lime pie
• Lemonade
• Frozen Yogurt
• Shopping at outdoor malls
• Spending time with friends
• Spending time alone to rejuvenate yourself
• Flexible schedules
• More daylight
• My birthday
• My mom's birthday
• My dad's birthday
• Backyard BBQs
• Bike rides
• Driving with the windows rolled down
• Summer music playlists
• Fourth of July (and fireworks)
• Bonfires

While there are a lot more wonderful things about summer, those are some of my favorites.  Summer flies by so enjoy every minute!  Until next time xxx.
