Summer’s finally here! It’s my favorite season so I like to pay homage to it every year. I love the longer days, vacations, and sand between my toes. I’ve come up with some fun things to try this summer to make it even more enjoyable. Let’s get summering!
1. Make a delicious frozen drink
Frozen Strawberry Limeade Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup diet Sprite
- 1/2 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup of ice
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- Honey as needed
Put all the ingredients into your blender and blend until it’s the consistency of an Icee. I made this concoction yesterday and it was delicious, while also being low calorie, only 80 per serving! Whipping these up is a great way to make a pool day a little more special!
2. Create an outdoor Comfy Lounger
Who knew kiddie pools could be used for so many fun things? Buy an inexpensive one, then fill it up with comfy pillows and blankets. You now have the perfect place for stargazing, watching movies in the backyard, or reading a good book!
3. make Ice Cream In a Bag
Ice Cream in a Bag Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream or half and half
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 1/2 tsp. of sugar
Put all the ingredients into a sandwich size bag. Make sure to get all the air out when you seal it. Then put this bag into another sandwich bag and seal. Take a gallon size bag and fill it halfway up with ice and 6 tablespoons of course kosher salt. Then put your sandwich bag into the gallon bag and seal.
Now get moving! You need to shake the bad for 5-10 minutes to make the ice cream. Have a dance contest to see who can make their ice cream first! This not only gives you a tasty treat but the added bonus of a little fun competition too!
4. Make a terrarium
A terrarium is perfect for those who were not born with a green thumb or don’t want the commitment of caring for a garden or a plant. Plants in a terrarium are very resilient and require little care. They are also extremely easy to make!
Instructions
- Start with a clean clear jar. (A mason jar is perfect.)
- Cover the bottom with a layer of rocks or pebbles.
- Add a small layer of activated charcoal.
- Add a small layer of moss to keep the potting soil and charcoal separate.
- Add a thick layer of potting soil. (soil for indoor plants.)
- Add your plants. (succulents or little ferns are perfect.)
- Then add moss or other decorative features around your plants.
Voila! You now have your very own indoor garden to enjoy!
play a photography game
This is something you can do wherever you happen to be this summer. You can play these games at home, in a new city, or in your town! We have our phones with us at all times. We may not consider ourselves photographers, but the majority of us do take a lot of pics with our phones. These photography games are fun and they will add some creative shots to your gallery!
pHOTOGRAPHY GAMES
- Baker’s Dozen: Stand in one place and without taking a step in any direction, make 13 distinct photos.
- Imitation Is Flattery: Find a photo that you like online and then do your best to recreate it.
- 10 X 1: Shoot 10 unique photos of one subject. You can choose a subject that moves or a stationary one.
- Mission 24: It was designed to help photographers find different ways to express different themes.
Here is a sample theme:
- Cold
- Signage
- New Year’s resolution
- Patient
- Vice
You can also find other random Mission 24 themes online. This game definitely will push you out of your comfort zone, which will give you some creative and unique photos!
I hope that you like these summer activity ideas and that they will make your summer a little more fun. I know that I plan on trying at least one or two myself!
