I can't even think of just one - not having to get up early to get the kids to schoool, lazy days at the lake, running around outside, planning and going on vacation (in 9 days!), cooking on the grill, and just loving life in general!!!
I have two boys who bounce off of my walls in winter, so my favorite thing about summer is the fact that I can send them into the backyard all day, every day!

What I love about summer is being able to spend more time with our kids and going to the beach!!!

My favorite thing about summer is that we control our own schedule. During the school year, the school is our boss, but in the summer, even though we're just as busy, WE ARE THE BOSS OF OUR LIVES!
favorite things about summer are the long nights, relaxing on the deck, and enjoying BBQ with friends and family.
I have posted your give away on my facebook page. :-)
no schedules!
My favorite thing about summer is the sweet cold iced tea I get to drink by the gallon. mmmmm
Morning runs with my little guy riding along on his bike!
My favorite time about summer is the endless hours of family time and the cute summer dresses and accessories.
My favorite things about summer are not having a schedule, being able to stay up late and then sleep in, the summer fruit and the fun summer tops and dresses!

Flip flops!! The way they look and the way they sound when the slap your feet...LOVE IT! And bright pink toenail polish. YAY for summer.
Oh so much about summer to love! Warm evenings on the porch, watching fireflys! Eating ice cream! And then sleeping till the sun - breaking through the cracks in the curtains, wakes you up!!
I have 3 very energetic boys :) I love summer because I can wear them out with hours of swimming plus I get a little tan :)
a relaxed schedule with the kiddos and time at the lake with my parents
sun. and kids going to VBS and coming home just so excited!
My favorite thing about summer is just being home together!
Not having to bundle up Little Man when it's time to go somewhere..being able to just slip into some flip flops, not having to get going in the morning for school...would you like more? Oh can't forget the big one..not having to worry about heating an old house, last winter was brutal!!

flip flops :) Rock!!
my favorite thing of summer? it has changed over the years, when my girls were small and at home I loved playing with them out in the sunshine, swimming, camping and taking them to parks! Now, I just love late nights out on my porch swing, relaxing at the end of the day with my husband...sometimes with a glass of wine sometimes not. But, just watching the sun go down with my hubs on that porch swing, yep doesn't get much better than that!
My favorite thing is having my peeps with me all day! Also, I love getting tan as the summer goes on...
My favorite thing about summer is going to the beach! But, at home I like the later nights out in the yard with the kids catching fireflies.

QUESTION? WHAT DO I LIKE ABOUT SUMMER? WELL I GUESS BECAUSE I'M A SEMI SHUTIN BEACUSE OF HEALTH PROBLEMS AND A SENIOR CITZEN IN MY 70S I 'D HAVE TO SAY IS SITTING HERE IN MY FAMILY ROOM AND LOOKING OUT AT NATURE IN MY BACKYARD AND WATCHING THE DIFFERANT BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS DOING THEIR EVERYDAY THING. I JUST KNOW THAT THEIR THE SAME BIRDS EACH YEAR THAT COME AND GREET ME WITH THEIR CHIRPS EACH DAY. I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE A HOG HERE AND TAKE UP ANYMORE SPACE. GOD IS GOOD AND I THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE GIVES ME IN JOY OF THE SUMMER MONTHS.
