Going to a theme park.
Playing outside with my grandsons!
Crabbing and fishing on the pier.
Eating watermelon! Yum!
I love gardening. watching the hostas grow.
I would not confess this to just anyone but I love mowing the lawn. The fresh cut grass smell, the almost perfect mow lines, and that “too hot but finally finished” feeling when the job is done are all part of my perfect summer day.
Going to the beach…
Spending time with my son and going bird watching in parks
Knitting in the a/c? LOL I like swimming and going camping too.
My favorite time of the summer is when each of my grandchildren come for their summer visit. It is time alone with just the two of us, relaxing, playing and doing “tourist stuff.” They each usually come for a week, but this year I was honored by each one wanting to come for 2 weeks each.
Definitely sitting on the deck, grilling, and having a cocktail 🙂
I love swimming all year long, but swimming outside with my kids is the best in summer! I have a son with autism and he recently learned how to swim, so he really loves to go to the pool with me.
I love water parks — specifically going down the slides. Makes me feel like a kid again. Looking forward to going next month.
Picnics on the farm with the grand kids.
Working out in my garden is my favorite summer activity
Just spending time with the people I love. and concert season!!!
Enjoying the sunshine and the freedom of NOT WEARING a coat!

Walking on the beach. Driving around our county and smelling the magnolia trees and the breeze in my hair with the top down on the car. Fishing with my granddaughter. And, going out of state to visit the other grand kids.

My favorite thing to do is go Camping!! I look forward to every summer ‘weekend’ off of work to be able to just go and relax by the campfire, swim in the lake and eat camp food 🙂
Crafting on the patio while listening to the birds and watching the squirrels and chipmunks run around the yard.
Summer in Arizona is mostly brutal, but there’s nothing like a refreshing dip in the pool after getting hot and sweaty doing yard work.
Time in the pool with a nice cold icy drink

This look like so much fun! I’d help my grandson dye it then give it to him.
