Summer, where are you? We’ve been missing you so much...
Face it. June to September are the best months out of the year. From the ice cream store to the water park, from sitting in your enos, to hiking. Baseball games to going to the beach.
Going to the beach and just staying in the house the whole time because it is too cold to go outside in winter? Nope. Summer beaches mean tanning, catching some fish or building sand castles. In the ocean, we can jump the waves with a boogie board, swim or even just float.
But in summer, the beach is not the only place to be. In North Carolina alone, over 30 water parks and pools await in just about every neighborhood or community. For younger kids, or really anyone, a sprinkler or a slip-n-slide from Walmart means laughter and joy.
Oh, and swimming holes are also another great place to be… in summer.. It is so great to grab all of your friends and hike back to a big swimming hole. Hiking is always better with a destination you can wear your swimsuit to.
And when do the new swimsuits start going on sale? In January, giving us hope for summer and spring break. Even better, you can buy them after labor day for half the price, again, thanks to summer.
Summer clothes in general are much better. No worrying about grabbing gloves, hat or jackets. Shorts, tank tops and sandals are the only things you need. Also summer dresses are the cutest of them all and pairing them with your cutest summer sandals makes for a perfect outfit.
And in your perfect outfit, you do not have to worry about only having school to it to wear it to. In fact, you do not have to worry about school at all. You never have to worry about what day it actually is because you have nothing to do. You can stay up late into the night with you friends without any consequences. All thanks to summer.
Summer nights are amazing with a group of friends gathered around a bonfire. So come on, summer. Come on lightning bugs. Bring back those memories of catching a star in a mason jar. It was always the highlight of summer for me as a kid. You knew it was officially summer when you saw flashing yellow lights flying in the night sky.
So, although this is a little less heavy of a topic, it doesn’t mean we can’t all agree. And wouldn’t that be a welcomed change? Just like the change… to summer.
