    It's Summertime!

    It's finally summer time!
    (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere!)



    So, I want to know...

    What is your favourite thing to do in the summer? Are you a total beach bum? Lake lifer? How do you like to stay cool? Popsicles, ice cream, good old fashioned AC?
    Maybe you have a favourite memory from the summer time? I wanna hear about it!


    I will go first!

    As a kid, we would always go to the outdoor waterslide park in June at the end of the school year. We would stay all day until we were EXHAUSTED. There was this one slide that was super scary to me, it was really fast, had big drops and was in pitch black. I remember the year I turned 12, I was FINALLY brave enough to go down it by myself. So I did, and it was a blast! Once it was time to leave, we'd get a twist (chocolate and vanilla swirled) soft serve ice cream cone.

    My family usually goes on a beach vacation during the early summer to celebrate my birthday We've been going to the same beach for AGES, and it's so relaxing and fun to just laze around all day doing nothing for a solid week. Our vacation is a little later in the summer this year, but it'll still be a blast!

    I looove summer
    But at the same time I kinda hate it lol

    I live in Dominican Republic and here it's summer all year long as we don't get snow or the beautiful
    Autumn colors. But instead we have beautiful beaches, rivers and lakes that are always warm for you.

    Warm Summer, Regular Summer, Chilly Summer and Kinda Cold Summer

    I'm always up for a Beach day or any Pool or outdoor activities that has water involved as it's always so hot in here.
    This summer I'm definitely going to a lot of festivals, pool parties, and using my AC every day cuz this heat will kill me!
    Also visited my BF in New York City (It's been like 5 years since I visited during summer) It was always Winter and Autumn

    Also, here are some pics of my Doggies enjoying last sunday at the beach/pool @ my friends house

    As well as @(you need an account to see links) here in we DR we LOVE these Ice creams that are made
    just inside a plastic wrap (we call them Helados de Fundita)[CUBOS] and let me tell you, they are SOOO DELICIOUS!

    (you need an account to see links)

    The Sweet Potato or Sweet Potato with Coconut are flavors that you would never imagine in an Ice Cream but BELIEVE ME, you will definitely love them.
    It's a must if you ever visit DR and are visiting small towns or even a local ice cream store if they have available.

    Also, I personally like to make my own homemade popsicles made in plastic cups using local fruits. My faves are mango and coconut.


    My Doggies also love coconut I'd say they're obsessed haha!

    And that's how we keep Stayin' Cool in here!

    PS: Imma stick around to see how you people Stay Cool

    Summers were always a really special time to me as a kid. I spent them pretty much living at my second home, my small hometown local pool. I joined our local swim team when I was seven years old, and did that every summer until I was fifteen, when I started lifeguarding instead.

    I didn't always love getting up for 7am swim team practice and here is a picture of me demonstrating it by looking extra surly in a team pic xD

    (you need an account to see links)

    but I genuinely loved it. My hometown had the only summer swim league out of all the nearby small towns so I made a lot of friends from other schools that I would usually only see during the summer. Then when we got older, a bunch of us started lifeguarding together too. I spent three years lifeguarding and for me they were the idyllic summers. I used to be disappointed on days I didn't get to work because I had more fun doing that than being home. My proudest achievement as a lifeguard: Managing to go all three summers without ever actually having to clean up poop from the pool (a disturbingly frequent occurrence) because I always happened to be either on stand or on register when it happened xD

    One summer one of the guards was also in charge of checking pool chemicals so he was given a set of keys to the place and we used to sneak in after hours all the time to horse around in the pool. We didn't do anything serious, we did dumb shit like this a lot



    one of the staples of the lifeguard diet was an endless supply of freezie pops. I was the only one whose favorite was purple so the rest of the staff always left those for me. I probably ate more popsicles than actual food on days I worked.

    Slip and slides are super fun, but I must caution you to make sure where you set them up is completely flat and relatively soft. One stray rock and anyone going down the track is going to have a super bad time. Talking from experience.

    Glob, i miss summer so much my body is lacking VitD. Joking i told @(you need an account to see links) yesterday we had Windy Winter, Rainy Winter, Snowy Winter, Alergic-al Winter, it's always cold outside! Miss summer because of the HEAT! :')
    I have always had a love/hate relationship with it too, i'm a summer child too and all my friends were on vacation, so i made my bday a cute cinema day/dinner with family, i really like it, but i don't have any special childhood memory of it haha

    I remember going to water parks and going to my aunt's just for the pool (that i miss a lot every summer since i live here), and eating those watermelon shaped ice creams (every ice cream on the pic Tsunami shared are sold by different brands here!), but my faves summers have been pretty late, one year we went to Puerto Madryn, the whole family, it was our last vacation everyone together and it was so funny and cute ♥ I got to dive and it was so awesome, but later that day i got the BEST SUNBURN YOU WILL SEE (because i fell asleep 10 seconds after diving, it is tiring!), it's spoilered! watch, laugh and suffer with me!



    Later i did a similar trip with my partner (added a couple locations) and we had a BLAST! We travelled 26 hours on bus and hated it so much we now laugh about it, watched One Piece fully to the latest chapter then, while eating watermelon and fries (yeah, read it right), we walked a lot down the coast line and suddenly rain would fall and we would run to some protection even thought Madryn rain is aggressive as fuck and we would be already soaked but it was ok since sun would dry us pretty quick!

    I'm sad that this happened almost 10 years ago, it was the last time we went out on vacation. Need these two years to go by FAST so i can travel again with partner/family ♥



    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Getting in line with the character ice creams! I loved chocolate ones! Need to search for one actually beign sold here hahah i think we only had the classical animal ones and then the normal as fuck ice cream sold with a sticker and envelope of a famous series x'D
    That image reminds me of these Asian ice pops I used to get when I was a kid

    I dunno what it is about that blue one but it is definitely calling to me.

    Also I seem to recall some Asian areas have ice cream in balloons that's common around summer time? They've got some super fun and strange things.

    I'm in the southeast US so summer is more like a 9-month span of seasons. I miss the solid 4 separate seasons when i lived northeast!

    As a kid, we used to go to the neighborhood pool almost daily - now, summer is just a race from the AC in my car to the AC inside work i wish i enjoyed summer more, but my partner has an autoimmune disease that keeps them from being able to get too hot. and honestly...i don't like sweating all that much.

    Antarctica is sounding very tempting hehe



    but honestly all of these tasty looking popsicles look and sound incredible!!! may have to seek some out!!!

    THEY'RE SO GOOD. You can get them at any Asian supermarket here. Do you not have them where you live?
