Summer fun

What do you do in your area of the country for fun in the summer. Living on the East coast we have plentiful access to beautiful sandy beaches and that is typically a great resource for summer fun. The staple BBQ and camping is also very popular in this area of the country. I am curious in hearing what is going on in other communities for fun these summer months.

Where has the summer gone

Today we emptied and cleaned out the pool, the kids are getting ready for back to school, we are tempted at night to turn the heat on because it is getting cold, the apples are falling out of the tree. These are all signs that summer is over, and boy did it go fast this year. I think it was taking 2 weeks of vacation the first of August because once we got back it has been a fast couple of weeks getting everything caught up at work and home. It was a fun summer none the less and it makes me look forward to next year.

Looking forward to a day off

After a long week of working 7 days straight I am looking forward to spending the night with the kids. We are going to have a campfire out in the back yard in the fire pit. For supper we are going to enjoy the bbq and some yummy potato salad. Also for fun we are going to have a swim in the pool while cooking supper. It will be nice to just relax and enjoy the kids on a nice summer night.

What's with the weather

It has been freezing here forever, it is the middle of May and we are still using the heat. Last weekend we got snow, yes the white frozen stuff what's with that. I can't get over it, usually by this time in the spring the trees are turning green and we have blooms everywhere but this year there isn't any sign of buds anywhere. I can even remember that I had mowed the lawn at least 3 times by the long weekend last year and this year, not even close. Will spring let alone summer ever come this year?
