Outdoor summer time
Summer fun begins when school ends and there are no more studies, that is for some children. Schools now offer children summer school which can include catching up on hours to graduate or learning new skills and taking classes that need improvement. Other kids go to summer school just to be with their friends and have fun. Many schools plan outdoor activities such as going to the park, swimming pool, or going places to see the fire department, police headquarters, and meet the people who serve their community. Some children participate in crafts and games at school, but overall most children enjoy their time at summer school.
Some of the outdoor sports still take place in most areas. Boys and girls get involved in playing T-ball or baseball, while parents and grandparents cheer them on. It’s just part of the summer and being outside, even when it’s hot and muggy. This is a great time to meet other parents and neighbors that you don’t always see. Usually you will share a bag of popcorn, candy, ice cream and soda with your children or grandchildren, what a great time to be together. You will, of course, want to bring your camera so you can take that special photo or video of your children or grandchildren. What memories you can make with them by being there for that special moment when they catch the ball or hit a home run.
As the summer season continues, outdoor sports like swimming, biking, camping, and just being with friends are important to them.
While mom and dad pack up and prepare the car to go on vacation. The children are preparing their special toys to take with them. Some families plan to go spend their time at an amusement park or at the beach, while other families prepare to go camping and spend time in the mountains and enjoy the outdoors and scenery.
Summer is a very busy time, but it can also be a great time to enjoy family and togetherness. Taking time with your family is very important nowadays, as the days seem very busy and our schedules are very full of work and other activities. Our children and grandchildren grow up very quickly and leave home to go to school or take a job.
We need to slow down and enjoy them while they are young and at home.
Have a great summer outdoors together as a family.
