This year, my favorite thing about the summer months will be not having school!! I'm just finishing (today!) my first year, and I really need the break!

I love the longer days. I work full time so during the summer I get to enjoy 1-2 hours of daylight that I miss out on during the winter. And with the Midwest's short summer, I cherish what time I do get to spend outside.

Having no schedule! Being able to pick up and go to the pool or the zoo or have a picnic anytime is a great feeling.

I love that almost every weekend our family and friends come over to hang out by the pool. We cook out on the grill and just talk and laugh for hours.

Our yard filled with flowers and having lots of BBQ's with friends.... no schedule, swimming, VBS for the kids, fresh produce from the garden. What's not to love about summer?

What I love about summer is not having to be in a schedule with my daughters (13, 10). But...I do have to admit that towards the end of summer, I am ready to be back on that schedule! lol

P.S....my birthday is Friday so maybe I could be a winner??? hint..hint...

I teach 2nd graders. That probably says enough! ;)

Our winters in northeast Ohio can be very long and dark, so I love, love, love the summer months when I can wake up to the sunshine coming through my window. I'm an island girl at heart, so bring on the warmth!

The extra daylight hours to spend with my kids.

My fave thing about summer is being able to be more adventurous with activities for my daughters without having to worry about the weather. We can go to the zoo (www.columbuszoo.com), the Farmer's Market (http://www.uptownmerchants.com/linkpages/uptownfarmersmarket.html), outside for a picnic (http://www.metroparks.net/ParksInniswood.aspx), the Art Fest (http://www.gcac.org/fest/), the Asian Fest (http://asian-festival.org/index.do), etc.

I love going to the beach for a vacation. It's only 5 hours away from the Redneck Riviera. :)

My absolute favorite thing about summer is the long nights with sunlight. You can go to the park, for bike rides, sit on the deck until bedtime.

Watermelon!

My favorite thing? The fact that the kids can play outside for hours entertaining themselves!

Other than Christmas and Thanksgiving, the summer months are time when I get to see my family. Cookouts, pool parties, trips to the beach. The smell of suntan lotion, biting into a big hunk of juicy watermellon, fireworks on the 4th of July. I love it all. Hey, it's summertime and the livin's easy!

I love summer because my kids join me in my bed and we read and talk. Sometimes we stay in our jammies until WAY after lunch! Love summer!

Ah...summer in Arizona... Although it's not my favorite time of year because of the heat here, I do really enjoy the blue sky. Add a few puffy white clouds on any given day and it's so beautiful!

My birthday and summer vacation!

My favorite thing about the Summer months, now that I live in Michigan where the heat is not as oppressive as in Texas, is being outside. Sitting on the deck, sipping lemonade. Swimming, going for walks, shopping at the farmer's market downtown.
Oh, and that Autumn comes next! : )

Time with my daughter! Warm breezes, birds chirping, pretty flowers, drinking lemonade, taking afternoon naps. I love it all :)
