Summer's Top 20

Now that summer is officially here, I thought it would be fun to share some of our family's favorite summertime activities. We have done these as singles, for date nights, and/or as a family & they really spell S-U-M-M-E-R for us...
  1. go to a minor league baseball game
  2. buy ice cream from the ice cream man
  3. attend an outdoor concert or play
  4. host a backyard BBQ
  5. paint your toenails red (okay so Peter hasn't done this one)
  6. go berry picking & make jam
  7. run through the sprinkler
  8. savor a cherry limeade from Sonic & go for a drive
  9. play frisbee golf
  10. make homemade ice cream & eat it outside
  11. camp in the backyard; make s'mores in the microwave or over the stove
  12. take a road trip - anywhere!
  13. sip a pina colada while listening to "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison
  14. hit the zoo - make it early before the animals get too hot & go to sleep
  15. get highlights in your hair (again, me only)
  16. go fishin' with Velveeta as bait
  17. play tennis - even if you don't really know how!
  18. hike to a waterfall
  19. see a fireworks show
  20. get KFC & have a picnic at the park

Hope you enjoy your summer as much as we will!

Michelle,
Great Ideas! I love the cherry limeade one the best - but my choice would be the new cranberry limeade...tried it?
