    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.

    Well, it's summer all year round here and we have high humidity, so I don't really like being out in the sun if I could choose.
    I do love eating cold desserts (shaved ice / ice cream) or drinking cold drinks to cool myself down.

    But what I love most is to travel to countries that aren't so hot and experience different seasons!
    Looking forward to my trips to Korea and Iceland in the coming months! <3

    I'm from the south hemisphere so we are getting to winter but when summer I love going to the beach or just enjoy my day with friends by the pool. Ice cream is definitely welcome anytime, even in winter since our temperatures aren't that low here in Brazil xD

    I stay cool by staying inside.. Only half joking. Usually I spend my summers with friends on patios or hitting up downtown. My city is kinda cool this time of year because they hold all these different events downtown throughout the summer. International food festivals, local music festivals, poutine festivals.. They also have these cool vendors that come and hang out with neat little trinkets.

    It's usually during winter months that I'd pop away to the Caribbean or something to be a beach bum or explore the history.

    I love taking my dogs on long nice sunset evening walks in the summer. It is always warm but not too warm, light outside (we don't get much light where I'm at during the winter) and super fun. <3

    It's been extremely hot here this summer, so staying on the cooler side of things is a bit difficult when you've been facing highs of close to 100 degrees... plus I'm living somewhere insanely humid, so it just makes it worse.

    We do have a pool here but with the world as it is I don't think I'll be using it, so plenty of ice water, ice cream and blasting the AC when I can afford it are the way to go. It sucks because I'd definitely be living in the pool itself if I felt it were safe at all to do so.



    Thank you so much, (you need an account to see links)!

    Let me tell you about my summer Zen! ☀️🏖️🏖️

    Summer is, undoubtedly, my favorite season! (I was born in July, so I'm a summer boy myself. HEHE) Might sound really simple, but I just love to vibe, listen to music, and have a great time. My favourite activities are visiting the beach, going swimming, making homemade ice cream and finding a great picnic spot for an outdoor barbecue.
    Oh! I'm also such a sucker for roller coasters and amusement parks! 🎡👫🎠

    Some activities I would love to do in the future are growing crops and vegetables! We don't have a garden, so I hope that will change sometime in the future.

    Summer will always remind me of the time I first stepped into a theme park.

    I was never allowed into ANY theme park until I had a huge fight with my parents (I hung out with my friends without permission till late evening, I ended up going to my aunt's that night crying) and my aunt decided to bring me out the next day to a water theme park to cheer me up.
    I remember being really down and couldn't really enjoy my time there but it was a really sweet gesture from my aunt.

    now my summers consist of me trying to catch up with backlog anime/games or hanging out at the beach with friends

    I love reading all of your summer time stories and memories so far! Thanks for sharing everyone!

    I just took Petunia to the river for a swim since its hot out today, 28C (hey, for Canadians, that is warm when we are used to -25C in winter!) and she loved it



    Okay. Time for me to start a fight.

    What do we call these?!



    The only correct answer is Freezies.
