Fun Summer

Summertime

By Lynne BlackPublished about a year ago 3 min read

So, are you looking for some fun Summer things to do? Well, you have come to the right place. I have several recommendations for you.

Fun Summer

So, if you are looking for something to do during the week, or the weekend or to embark on a new adventure; keep scrolling for some of my ideas.

Of course, it is beach season! Whether you are headed to the coastline, or lounging around a swimming pool; it is essential you protect your skin. Visit my Sun is Out – Protect Your Skin post for everything you need to keep your skin protected.

While you are lounging on the beach or by the pool; it’s time to pick up a beach read.

The Summer Pact

When you are looking to get away from crime stories; you will want to read this book.

This story is about 4 girls who meet in college. When a tragedy occurs right before graduation; they make a pact to always be there for each other.

A decade later – one of them is going through a difficult time. Though they are each at different crossroads in their lives; they get together to help their friend.

At the same time, their friendship leads to self-discovery and dealing with real life situations.

Though this book isn’t as light as light as some of Emily Griffin’s other books; it is heartfelt.

Just for the Summer

Another book I recommend reading is Just for the Summer.

So, Justin has bad luck dating. After 4 dates; the women he dates leave him. He posts on Reddit, “Am I the Asshole”. Enter Emma who seems to have the same problem as Justin.

The two decide to make a plan to date each other for 4 dates and break up. But, what happens when the two end up falling for each other?

In addition, this book has a good message about healing and also who you let into your life.

Playing

Moreover, almost everyone loves to play games or participate in some type of sporting activity.

EasyPoint Sports Go Gator – Cornhole

Meanwhile, if you have a backyard with a lot of grass or want to head to a park that has a grassy area; why not set up a game of cornhole?

You can play against someone or go against a neighbor or family member.

This game comes with boards, and bean bags and has LED lights.

Also, this game is lightweight and easy to carry with you.

Play either in the daytime or at night!

If you have a swimming pool or are headed to a friend or family member’s home who has a pool; spend some time in the swimming pool splashing around in the pool playing a game.

GoSports Splash Hoop Basketball Game

Included in this game are a hoop, 2 water basketballs, and a ball pump.

If you have a lot of people in the pool; you can set up teams for a fun competitive game of basketball.

Eating

When you are looking for some healthy and delicious food options to eat this Summer; visit my Easy Recipes to Make With Vegetables this Summer and Homemade Light Summertime Desserts posts.

Or, if you are dining out; you may want to dine somewhere on the water or where there is a deck. Indeed, dining outdoors is a great way to enjoy the sunset and have the opportunity to check out the scenery.

And, if you are having a cookout; why not try some new recipes? Visit my July is National Grilling Month – Check out my Special Recipes post.

Embark on an Adventure

When you are looking for an adventure or a lush getaway; there are many spots to discover. Even if you don’t want to travel to far; you can plan a camping or staycation trip.

Be flexible!

So, if you are looking for something to do out of your comfort level; why not try something unique?

Think outside the box!

Check out my Celebrate American Adventure Month by Planning some Trips in the USA post for the experience of a lifetime.

Another idea I have is to pick a destination in your area. For some ideas, visit my Staycation Destinations – Places to Visit post.

Finally, if you are looking for a fun Summer; make it happen with some of my ideas.

As always, I look forward to your comments on my recommendations for a fun Summer
