1. Enjoy Fresh Produce đ˝
Fruits and vegetables have an entirely different taste when theyâre straight from the farm rather than from your local grocery. Itâs great that we can get fruits and vegetables all year round from the grocery store but when you can, buy fresh. Visit your local farmerâs market or roadside stand to get the best of summerâs produce. Everyone has their favorites. I love fresh cucumbers, yellow tomatoes, corn, watermelon and peaches!
2. Going Barefoot đ
Thereâs something enticing about the feel of fresh grass beneath your feet. Better yet, the feel of sand between your toes! Wherever you are, enjoy going barefoot before you have to start wearing closed toed shoes again. While youâre at it, wear all your favorite sandals before you have to pack them away. Every season has its pleasures and this is one of summerâs best.

3. Going for Ice Creamđ¨
You can enjoy ice cream year round and most of us do, but isnât it extra special in the summer? It tastes a little sweeter, donât you think? Thereâs nothing like a nice cool treat on a hot day. Visit your favorite ice cream shop while the heat of summer is on. This outing makes the perfect cheap date, too!
4. Make Fresh Squeezed Lemonadeđ
If youâre not making fresh squeezed lemonade then youâre missing out. Itâs right up there with southern sweet tea! Itâs one of the most refreshing drinks you can have on a hot day. If you donât have a favorite recipe then you can find thousands to choose from by doing a simple Google search. And itâs perfectly okay to tweak it a bit to make it your own!
5. Squeeze in One Last Trip to the Beachđ
Iâm still not quite sure why I donât live at the beach with my deep love for it but sadly, Iâm landlocked! If youâre close enough, enjoy those weekend day trips to the beach. Hearing the waves crash while you soak up the sun is one of the best feelings in the world. Itâs as if the stress of life just melts away. This is a summer fun activity thatâs a must to squeeze in!
6. Be Artistic with Chalkđź
Drawing with chalk is fun! Iâm into my 30s now (shh! donât tell!) and I still love to enjoy an afternoon of chalk art. You can make huge, elaborate drawings that are fun and creative while enjoying the outdoors. Itâs easy clean up, too, since the rain will easily wash it all away. Enjoy this activity with your children, nieces and nephews or just by yourself!
7. Have a Lazy Pool Dayđ
This may be the ultimate way to spend the last of your summer days. Lazy pool days are the best. Whatâs better than spending your time in a gorgeous pool? At the end of the day, youâre relaxed and have a lovely sun-kissed glow. Itâs the perfect way to spend time with friends!
