Before Summer Ends…Have Some Fun!

By Elizabeth

Well, the blisteringly glorious months of summer are upon us. Here we are, drenched in sweat and heat irritation, more concerned with our margaritas than all of the things we swore we’d be doing once summer came back when it was cold. Let it now be known; I am against this summertime laziness. I will not abandon the to-do lists I made in January for July. I will freeze bottles of water and let them nurse me through my adventures, because winter already depresses me as it is…I don’t need to add summer regrets to my list of things that bum me out when the cold weather returns.

So here are some things I’m definitely doing before summer ends…maybe you should add them to your list, too!

Hang Gliding. Because I want to be a bird.

A Bonfire on the Beach. It just seems romantic…and fun.

Outdoor Concerts. And lots of them.

Hiking New Trails. One should never forget how awesome the outdoors are.

Spelunking/Caving. Because I like scaring the sh*t out of myself.

More Biking. It’s fun to cruise around like an 8 year old.

Try Surfing. Again, ’cause I like scaring myself. And those surfer boys on the beach are hot.

Daily BBQ’s. BBQ’s are the key to happiness.

Rock Climing. Just to see if I fall.

Read More Books. Because there is never enough time when school is back in session.

And finally,

More or less acting like a little kid every day. I’ll never understand why getting older should mean that fun can only be had over drinks at a lame bar. Screw that. Life is too precious. I want to jump rope with my friends, run through sprinklers and watch the sun set at night…every night.

Anyone with me?
