Top 7 to-dos for summer time!

Here are the top seven to-do’s for summer time as well as a few ways to have fun!

1. Enjoy the pool & invite friends over: Even if it isn’t used that holiday weekend, it is still nice to sit by the pool and enjoy a cocktail and have a BBQ with family and friends.

2. Get the garden going: While late May and early June is the perfect time frame for setting up your garden, you can still do it in July! Make sure you turn the soil and look into what plants will thrive best in your area. If you aren’t sure, consult the staff at your local garden center. To help plant growth along, try starting with small plants instead of seeds. The website Urban Farmer is a great website for planting and gardening advance and buying.

3. Birthday parties: If anyone is going to plan a birthday party, the summer is the time to do it! Unlike winter birthdays, you get to enjoy the weather and sunshine outside when having a summer birthday party. Birthday parties in the summer mean lawn games, BBQs, and swimming in the pool.

 4. “Non-summer birthday” party: While everyone loves to have a birthday party, the best time to have a party is in the summer. So why not plan a “non-summer birthday” party? If your birthday is December 15th, have a “half year party” June 15th! If you are going to have a birthday party, you need to go all out with birthday cake, favors, party hats, and treat bags. Think about how much you loved going to birthday parties as a child and go all out. By doing so, both the kids and the adults will have a great time!

5. Camp out…in the backyard:You can roast marshmallows, tell funny stories and just enjoy time with your friends.

6. Go to a public farm: There are lots of farms that are open to the public, so check out one! Many farm owners enjoy showing off their farms and teaching the public about what they do on a day-to-day basis. You can all learn how to milk a cow, collect eggs from a chicken, and feed goats. Local Farms can help you find a farm in your area.

Have a great summer!
