Summer is around the corner!!!

I am so excited that summer is coming!! Ever since I was a little girl it's my favorite season because its a time to sit back, unwind and relax. And after two long semesters I plan on doing just that. My favorite part about summer is all the activities that one can do that you just can not do in the winter. My mom and dad have a big beautiful pool in their backyard and the majority of my summer consists of going there and enjoying it. We also love to barbeque and have poolside parties. This summer I plan on going to the beach a lot too. Last year my daughter Julie was too little but this year she can spend hours just playing with her little shovel and pail. My sisters and I also enjoy taking the kids to the park and having picnics there. The kids love it because they can play on the playground and fly kites. One of my favorite activites to do in the summer is going bike riding with my husband. Julie rides in a child seat thats attatched to my bike. It's clear to see why I love the summer so much. My days are filled with endless activities.
