Ten Ways to Enjoy Summer
By Monica Resinger
For a lot of us, warm sunny weather is only here 3-4 months
out of the year. Because of this, we should put in the extra
effort to enjoy it to the fullest while it’s here. Here are
10 ways to do so.
-
Brew a pot of sun tea. Put desired amount
of tea bags in a sun tea jar or other glass jar, fill with
water and set in the sun. Add
fresh herbs at this point if you wish. Let sit in the sun
until tea has reached color you desire. Sweeten to taste,
chill and serve over ice.
-
Cook on the grill whenever
possible. Not only is this a pleasant way to cook but you
don’t heat up your kitchen and the food is delicious.
-
Lay
in the sun and read a good book. Be sure to put your
sunscreen on!
-
Take a drive to the country, the mountains,
the ocean, the desert or other place of nature. Pack a
picnic if you
wish or stop to get hamburgers at a small-town hamburger
shop. The burgers are much better than city fast food!
-
Take
a bike ride around your neighborhood. Look for ideas
people have used to decorate their yards and use them yourself.
Enjoy the blooming flowers and nature.
-
Play outdoor games.
Frisbee and badminton are great if it’s just your family.
If you can get a group together, try volleyball or baseball.
- Pack a picnic and go fishing. This is fun with or without
a boat. Be sure to bring sunscreen.
-
Go yard saling. What
a great way to have fun and find many bargains! A lot of
local and freebie papers have yard sale directories to help
you map out a plan of action.
-
Have a yard sale. Get rid of
clutter and earn some cash. Fill a cooler with pop
and sell individual cans or have the kids sell lemonade.
- Play in the water at the local pool, water park or lake.
Above all be sure you take advantage of the warm summer months
and enjoy as much as possible!
