I love summer. Like
crave it, gotta have it, love it long time.
I wait for it all year. I want to
be outside in the sun and water and trees and near a campfire. I want long sunny days. I want my days to busy having fun and nights
slow with a cold cider in my hand. I
want to live memories before they are what I look back on. I want to laugh loud and uncontrollably. I want to see friends, hold babies, and be
attacked with love from rambunctious dogs.
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday. I
feel like with how hot this summer has been I haven’t really enjoyed it. That is about to change. I want all the summer fun I can get! Summer is a great adventure. Summer is freedom. A time to be outside and not trapped indoors
away from the cold. Here is a list of what
I want to get done with what is left of summer.
1
Get-Out-Of-Here Trips
Camping trips are ideal for me. I get out of the city and into the
woods. I get the fresh air I crave. It is even better if there is water to swim
in. Renews the soul. Your soul renewing trip could be in a
hotel. I don’t judge! I know not everyone likes to be outside. I still think it is beneficial to get out of
your routine. A staycastion could even
do the trick. Stay in bed and watch
Netflix if you are normally running around.
Do something out of the norm.
Something for you.

Trip to Water
I love rivers, lakes and the ocean. I love water.
I love swimming. This one is all
about nature. A creek will work or
waterfall. The more wild the
better.
3
Picnic
Eating outdoors. Away
from technology. I will scarf down food
in front of the tv. I want to get
outside and interact. Play games maybe
fly a kite. For some reason picnics make
me want to fly a kite…
4
Walk in nature
I used to take lots of walks in the amazing forests of my
area. I haven’t been in a while. I like to name trees and birds. I am better at naming birds. I like the quiet. I like the green.
5
Swim
Being in water is my favorite way to stay cool. Maybe that is because I have only lived with
air condition for a year. Swimming is my
happy place. I really like
floating. Speaking of where is my inner
tube…
6
Fave Summer Outfit
Most of what I have worn this summer is ugly shorts and tee
shirts. As little as possible just to be
cool. I used to put effort in to what I
wore. I need more sundresses.
7
Sky/Stars
I am space nerd. I
wave at the ISS, International Space Station.
The Perseid meteor shower is here and will peak the 12-13. I want to drive out of town to watch it.
8
Fave Plant or Flower
I have lots of favorite plants from the garden. I want to really take notice of them.
9
Sunset/Sunrise
I want to enjoy both.
I will get up early for a sunrise and find a good spot to enjoy a
sunset. I will watch the whole
show.
10 Fave Summer Item
My favorite summer item is my tent. All the way.
I haven’t used it once this summer…
11
Beverage
I love cool drinks
and they are much needed in the heat. I
need to make sure I make some special ones.
12
Food
There are certain foods that are best in summer. There is such an abundance of fruits and
veg. This one I have been doing a good
job at but I am also very much in a rut.
13
Sweet
I am not a super big sweets person but I should indulge in
them more.
14
Detail of Summer
I want to find a small moment. A detail.
Something unimportant that is also everything. I don’t want to forget the little things.
15
Sound of Summer
I want to be more aware of the sounds of summer. Ones that only happen when it is warm
out. That remind me of my childhood.
16 Smell of Summer
All seasons have smells special to them. Summer is the same way. I don’t want to miss out on them.
I even made a printable checklist. I will be carrying mine around with me. If you want to play along please comment and tell me where. Instagram, Tumlr, Facebook, Blog anywhere! Do one, do some, or do them all! Either way I want to know! I will be using #SummerHappinessQuest. Get the checklist for yourself.
Even your broccoli will like the checklist!
