Hiking and camping :) woohoo! 

umm... I like to drive to places that are really far away, set up a yurt in the dark, adn get hit in the head with a stick all weekend, then take the whole thing down on Sunday and drive home.

ditto on the swimsuit thing!

I absolutely love going to the ocean and watching my son play in the waves. It's a chore to stay between him and the open ocean but we have a ball. Our favourite beach is about an hour away so we make a day of it, pack a lunch and stop to explore one of the many provincial parks :) That's a perfect summer day for me :)

um yes on teh duct tape, no on the foam.  It's planed rattan wrapped in fiberglass tape, then duct tape.  and yes, I dress up in silly costumes.  So do you, but yours are more work to make!

I LOVE swimming :)

and camping.

I'm planning on doing a lot of those this summer. I might even go camping next weekend and I live in Canada! Not so warm yet :).

Viczan, I've been camping for the last two weekends and I'm in Alberta!  :o) 

And that is what I live for in the summer.  :o)  That and BBQing weird and wonderfully healthy things.....like Greek Pizza on the BBQ.....or BBQ'd turkey & swiss subs.......mmmMMMmmm....

the ocean the ocean the ocean

ocean city, md in may

key west in June

I like fishing!

But for more exersize type things I like to go Rowing, Rollerblading, and I do some mixed martial arts - sparring outside because it is so nice!

i'm very lucky to live in asia where i can go scuba diving all the time~~ the local dive sites aren't very visible, but i live close enough to thailand and philippines and malay where i can fly there pretty cheap~
so hopefully i can do lots of scuba diving this summer...

but actually, i really miss the nice walks and bike rides down the neighborhood in the summer evenings when i use to live in NorthAmerica, too.

oo and BACKYARD BARBEQUES!!! how could i've forgetten that??

Camping, Swimming, and Rafting!!!   We are ding to go camping first time will be in a few weeks...

Saturday trips to the farmer's market.  I can't wait for all the local, fresh produce.  They open right after Memorial Day.  Also, driving through farm country to get fresh eggs, vegetables and fruit from the Amish.  There are plenty of antique stores off the beaten path, and the quilt museum, and lots more to do. Our favorite is a little Amish grocery store that has no electricity - they use gas lights.  Lucky for me I don't like their style of baking, because the place smells so good!  I can't imagine baking all those pies and cakes on a wood burning stove. I go with a friend and we like to stop on the way, at the Marsh Creek lake and watch them put the sailboats into the water, and have a picnic. 

I hope that this summer I'll be more up to taking long walks around town.

I'm totally into the backyard barbeque with friends.

all the kids running around, playing badminton, paddling in the pool, playing tag.

at the end, everyone's tired from so many activities and too much sun. but we cant' wait for the next one....

pick me!!!!  I love to hike,play frisbee, grill out, paddle boat, bonfire by the lake, tennis,yardsaling!!!  love to go yardsaling!  Really anything that keeps me outside!

I love to take the family camping.  For some reason when we are outdoors camping..it is unreal how well the kids all pitch in and help and they BEHAVE....I wish we could afford to camp all summer long..

Hubby likes to boat..which don't get me wrong I don't mind it but last year it turned into an every weekend thing and I got burned out.  Sometimes I just like to make bomb fire here at home and sit around it....

I love it when are friends come over and we sit outside in the lawn chairs and talk for hours..

Oh I can't wait...

Gardening: Vegies and flowers OH YEAH!

BBQ- Using the "cowboy grill" with real mesquite and charcoal, instead of the gas grill OH YEAH!

Wearing less clothing, no caost and hats and boots and gloves and long johns OH YEAH!

The beach in Misquamicut RI where there is a bar and bathroom right there on the beach and I bring my big umbrella and paint watercolors of what I find so lovely OH YEAH!

Just sitting like a lizard on a stone (I know I know about UV RAYS LOL) and feeling WARM OH YEAH!

And the fire pit at night: WE call it our "INdian Jim" time, watching the stars and moon and fireflies and bats, listening to the peepers, the stream, and getting real mellow. OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god... My boy just asked if I want to learn to waterski with his family this summer (haven't been out since I was 8)... and then he asked if we could afford sailboarding lessons.... crap, I better look OK in a swimsuit by then- but not a bikini, I'm not into nekkid skiing!
