I have never been a true lover of summer. It's often too hot for me, and my skin burns easily; however, something about the long winter months stirs a longing for those warm, sunny, summer days. Now that I'm in the midst of the heat of the summer and camping out in my cool basement with a sunburned back, trying to will myself to get up and actually go for a run, but deciding it's not worth the heat exhaustion that will result, I try to remind myself why I was wishing for this season in February. While going through some pictures, I was able to come up with a few things I have decided I can enjoy and do love about this time of year, despite my feelings toward it already. I love to play on the lake--boating, jet skiing, tubing, the works. Although I am by no means a swimmer, I do enjoy floating around in a swimming pool sometimes. I love bar-b-ques. There's nothing quite like that juicy hamburger Dad grills up and that yummy potato salad Mom whips out. Although they are slightly foreign in Moses Lake, we have enjoyed several thunders storms over the past couple weeks, and I have loved every one of them.
You don't see clouds like this in the winter. Only summer makes 'em like this.
Although I am personally no fan of fishing, I love watching my nieces and nephews fish and get so excited about catching one. We are having a family reunion coming up in a couple weeks, and I cannot wait to witness these episodes again.
Okay, so even though the sun can be way too hot and intense, the sunshine and blue skies are beautiful. Plus sun flare is way to fun to play with :)
Who doesn't like that spontaneous water fight that is bound to happen at least once a summer?
Okay, so maybe summer isn't quite so bad after all. But what about you? What is your favorite part about summer?

Ah, the chasm manifests itself here Ellie. You and I have different approaches on summer. I'm surprised though. In my memory, you played with me outdoors, in the heat, as much as I wanted; rollerblading, chalk, bikes, etc. HOWEVER, when it came time for chorse ourdoors; weeding, mowing the lawn, etc. I do recall you MIA (missing in action)
Michelle was inside do chores with Mom!!! I needed one helper inside didn't I?
My favorite part of summer is having you HOME!
