In the summer I love to golf, sit on my adirondack chair and read, draw on the sidewalk with chalk (with my kids) , go to our local zoo, hike in local and state parks, get ice cream at our fave scoop shop, and attend local food festivals and carnivals.
We like to have use our firepit at night and roast marshmallows. We love to barbecue.
The kids play "Night Tag" with their flashlights. We set up the badminton net and start challenging each other to games. Lots and lots of watermelon and lemonade! We make ice cream sometimes on Sunday afternoons. There's a local dude ranch that has a lot of nice natural features that we all get together and take our kids to for swimming, tubing, horseback riding, putt putt golf, with all kinds of food provided. When it's too hot for outdoor activities, we get old classic "monster" movies and have popcorn and popsicles and laugh a lot. Summer is the best.....
My son and I love swimming at a family member's pool, long days at the local park, porch picnics, and our local libraries and parks always have tons of free/minimal cost events.
Summer activities I love are summer reading programs, biking, hiking, camping, festivals and amusement parks especially water parks. I also like using summer to try different ice cream parlors too! Love trying new summer flavors
Kayaking, Kayaking, Hiking on our local trails, eating gelato, bike rides with my family, being able to be outside without layers of clothing on, Kayaking, the beach, eating outside, no snow, fresh flowers, and did I mention Kayaking? :)
I will be honest, I really can't stand warm weather. Our favorite summer activities are grilling out when the weather gets cool and going anywhere where we can be in the water!
I've been having this conversation with my husband for two weeks now, as we're scrambling to finish some of the to-do projects before baby #2 arrives in a couple of months. It's not just price you have to be aware of (that's the only factor he's considering), it's all of the above you mentioned. Great article, thanks!
One thing I've always thought about if I were to win the lottery is taking the payout over 20 years. That way, if I screwed up and totally blew all the money, at least I'd have 19 more chances to avoid the same mistakes :)
My favorite summer activity is eating outdoors. It started when I was a child. In the warm months, if we did our morning chores, my mother let us enjoy our lunch at the picnic table. Summer birthday parties were special because they were outdoors. My sisters birthday party at the local swimming pool with hot dogs on the grill.
Have you ever noticed how delicious a simple sandwich tastes when you're picnicking in the park? Why do children love to eat ice cream sitting on the stoop? Nearly every country fair has watermelon seed-spitting contests because we enjoy the tastes of nature in nature.
Today, eating my evening meal outdoors after a hard days work make it one of life's most enjoyable moments. Whether it's on my deck or at a local cafe, eating alfresco is what summer means to me.
I love and live for going to the beach! So far in NJ I've only had one good beach day, but here comes the season! I also love the free outdoor concerts.
We planted our first garden in 2012. We used some homegrown kale from it in green smoothies, and we used some homegrown carrots in various dishes. We will be planting more this year.
When in doubt buy her some sort of novelty (I'm thinking a naughty sex book or a sexy pearl g-string) or even a gift certificate. In the end it's the thought that counts and there is nothing worse than being presented with gorgeous lingerie that is too small and then you need to go and return it...
We have at leat a half acre planted. So far tomatoes, corn, peppers, lettuce, potatoes,onions, cucumbers, pumpkins, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. We freeze or can most of them to eat all winter.
We also have 28 chickens for eggs and 2 cows for meat.
Great for urban use, but you'll have to rent a gasser for road trips. And what Brian said about coal power and driving around with half a ton of future toxic waste under the floor.
We spend a lot of our summer in the pool and at the beach, and we take a week off to go camping.

One I wish I'd asked: has my future boss been psychologically evaluated? Does he like human beings? :)
Hiking, barbecuing, eating outdoors!
I like going to the beach
The main reason I switched is because it is not homogenized!

I like to go to the beach, scuba dive, bike, run, camp, anything outside!
Working out in the yard, having dinner outside on the deck, Camping!
