Although it has felt like summer since winter, it seems, it is now official!  What are you going to do for summer?  I came up with some of my favorite things to do in summer time and some new ideas I’m going to add to my list.

1. Go for a walk

2. Run through a sprinkler

3. Build sand castles at the beach

4. Take a road trip

5. Enjoy summer foods: watermelon, BBQ, homemade popsicles and lemonade

6. Catch fireflies (lighting bugs)

7. Draw pictures with sidewalk chalk

8. Go fishing

9. Go to a carnival

10. Go to a baseball game

11. Go on a boat ride

12. Make giant bubbles

14. Go camping (even if just in the back yard)

15. Go on a nature hike

16. Plant a garden

17. Go to a farmer’s market
