It has arrived! My favorite season of the year is here! In its honor (and because it’s been a while since I’ve written an ABC list), here is my A-Z list homage to SUMMER!
Air Conditioner: If it’s running, then it must be summer! Beaches: Did you know we have those in Kansas and Missouri? We spend at least one day there each summer. Camp: Not for me, but the girls—they love going away to camp! Daylight: We enjoy extra, and it makes my heart sing! Easy: Not having to worry about school lunches, uniforms, forms, carpool, etc., makes my life easy. Festivals: Summer is chock-full of them! Grilling: The best way to prep a summer meal. Heat: I am not a cold weather gal. Bring on the heat and humidity! Ice Cream: It just tastes better during summertime! June and July: The full months of summer break. Kick Back: It’s summertime, and the living is easy! Take a day just to play. Live Music: This year’s calendar is overflowing with great music acts in the great outdoors! Margaritas: Love to sip on whilst listening to that live music. Nights: We enjoy them longer, and I love it! Outside: The place to be to read, eat, drink, relax, play, etc. Parks: We love to explore new ones and visit favorites. Quiz: A break from studying for quizzes and tests. Read: My older has said the best day is one where you start a book in the morning and finish it in the evening. Swim: Is there anything better than a cool pool on a hot day? Tan Lines: Yes, we use sunscreen, but yes, I love to lounge and get a tan. U2: My fave band is touring this summer—huzzah! Vacation: Our first vacay with extended family is this summer. There are 23 of us traveling together. It will be either great fun or a great disaster. Water: Drink plenty of it and play plenty in it. eXtra Sun: Have I mentioned how much I love the extended daylight? Yawn: Take time out for an afternoon nap. Zucchini: Love the plethora of fresh fruit and veggies!
Here’s to a fantastic and fun summer for all KC families!
