My (25) List of What I love About Summer

My daughter’s last day of school is fast approaching. On May 29th, we will celebrate the end of another school year! That for me is the start of summer, although the official start date is a few weeks ahead. We live in boiling hot South Florida, so it has felt like summer here already for a few weeks. Despite the heat, here’s are 21 reasons why I love summer:

1. I don’t have to get up as early to drive my daughter to school.

2. I don’t have to drive to school for 10 weeks (11 miles each way)!!!

3. I will save $$$ on gas not driving as far!

4. My daughter will not have to study and will have plenty of time for fun (and helping me more around the house).

5. I will be able to spend more time with my family.

6. The days are longer, and I won’t feel like sleeping by 9 pm.

7. My family always takes a fun vacation.

8. I don’t feel as rushed.

9. It rains a lot here, and I love the rain.

10. There are less crowds in S FL during the summer, because visitors stay away during our hottest months.

11. July 4th is one of my favorite days of the year – celebrations AND the Twilight Zone Marathon is n Sci-Fi Channel!

12. There are more insects around here with the rain, and I love watching creepy crawlies like Lilly.

13. We can swim in the neighbor’s pool every day.

14. My allergies disappear here during the hot humid weather.

15. I love sitting in the sand on the breezy beach at night.

16. I enjoy visiting my elderly neighbor and chatting about life out on his patio at night.

17. There’s nothing better than laying on a blanket at night in the yard and looking up at the stars and clouds.

18. I love the abundance of corn on the cob in the grocery store and in my mouth.

19. I always have more energy in the summer.

20. I tend to get excited about Halloween, my favorite time of the year, toward the end of the summer.

21. We have a lot of birthdays (family and friends) to celebrate in the summer.

22. I have more time to read more books.

23. A long summer nap is the best kind of snooze.

24. I can find the best BBQ recipes in cooking magazines.

25. I can daydream about my summers as a kid, playing outside for hours and hours.
