SUMMER TIME - When the Livin' is Easy!

I LOVE Summer.
Okay, I LOVE all the seasons.
That's why I live in Colorado.
We get all the seasons.


What I love about summer -

* The quiet coolness of the morning
*Wandering around the house at 7 am while the kids are still asleep
* Going out to get the newspaper and realizing the whole neighborhood is still asleep

* Watermelon
* Summer fruit
* Homemade potato salad
* Vegetables on the grill
* Shish kabobs
* Anything on the grill
* Homemade ice cream
* Baked beans in the crockpot
* Homemade cole slaw

* 4th of July

* Family Vacations

* No schedules -
except for summer lacrosse, getting people to work, working on Parker's Eagle Project, cooking, and the usual housework. ;)

* Summer lacrosse
Sitting out in the gorgeous Colorado evening with no humidty and no bugs and watching people beat each other with sticks.
Hey, at least *I'm* not sweaty

* Cool movie theaters with buckets of buttered popcorn

* The swimming pool

* The way that no matter how hot it gets during the day,
it ALWAYS cools off at night

* Getting into bed with the ceiling fan on and actually being chilly

* More time for reading books

Oooh I love summer too! BBQ's and friends. Hanging out at the lake, half asleep with the sound of the kids splashing near by. Lot's of pretty flowers. SUN!

I love summer. Absolutely. And you have wonderful reasons. I would add that I am on break for mine. But all that good stuff to go along.

I have to agree with all of this. Summer is nice. I don't like the 115 degree heat, but that is why we have a pool!

Loving summer! Even cub camp! The only thing I'm a bit jealous of is the "cooling off at night." Not so much around here. When we left camp last night at 9:00, it was still 90 degrees. Blech!
