Favorite Things To Do in The Summer

Today's linkup post is Favorite Things To Do in The Summer !!
I #bigpuffyheart love summer.

I love all the sunshine. The warm weather. The happiness it brings! I'm pretty sure everyone's seratonin level goes up during the summer months.

• Getting tan. I love how the summer sun gives my skin a beautiful brown glow. I know tanning is bad for you, but everything looks better tan :p 

• Hanging out with the kids at the pool. They love to spend hours splashing around, and I love laying in the chair working on my tan while reading my kindle. Obviously I don't get too much reading time in with the kids constantly yelling for my attention [& lately breaking up my 3 yr olds fights hahah]

• Taking vacation days to spend time with the family

• the BEACH!!! Who doesn't love the beach?! I don't know anyone. The ocean breeze, sunshine, palm trees, sand, pools, restaurants, shopping. Love it ALL.

• Go to an outdoor concert. Even though it feels like a million degrees outside with all those sweaty bodies crowded around, it's a fun time! I'm actually going to a Def Leppard/Kiss concert on the 20th! Hahah I know, I know - but I love the 80s :) or really Def Leppard. I've seen them 4 times already :p

• Sleep during a summer thunderstorm. I don't like a lot of rain. And I get cranky if rains multiple days in a row [or if it tries to ruin my beach trip!] But summer thunderstorms are the best :)

• Go to the drive-in. I read somewhere that there are only like 350 drive in theaters left in the US and my little ole town has one of them! I always fall asleep during the 2nd movie because I'm a loser and can't stay up that late, but it is fun packing the car up with the kids, snacks, pillows & blankets and watching a movie. We actually haven't been this year yet. Need to go!
