Welcome to the Summer Solstice Blog Hop, if you’ve fallen off the bus just click on the picture above and you can get back on. Also if you are jumping on the tour midway if you click on the picture you can start at the beginning.
I don’t know about you but summer is my absolute favorite time of year. I’m an outdoorsy girl so my family usually spends our summers outside camping and exploring and doing various water activities. So I’ve got my list of my top 10 favorite things to do in the summer and of course it wouldn’t be one of my blog posts if I didn’t have some eye candy for you all. *grin*
As you know on the bloghop there are lots of great prizes available including a new Nook Simpletouch with Glowlight. I’ll be giving away a copy of the winner’s choice of a book from my backlist at the end of the end of the hop when you signup. But I’m going to do an extra little contest for people who comment on my blog post. Leave a comment and I’ll enter your name into a draw for a deck of Ellora’s Cave playing cards, each card in the deck has a different book cover.

There’s nothing better than just hitting the open road and seeing what you can find. I realize he’s taking a little break but well… you get the idea. LOL
So what about you what’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?

I love to travel and if I am home simply sit on the deck and read!

Great eye candy 😉 The beach and swimming, two must do’s for the summer.
How about each one of these pics on a deck of cards?
Whoa! Those pictures are hot! And my favorite thing to do in the summer is to work with the kids in my summer camp. It is so busy during the school year and I don’t see them until the summer break. It doesn’t pay but it is still fulfilling nonetheless.
My favorite summer activity used to be spending time in the Middle Ages with all of my SCA friends. However, for the last few years, I have not been physically able to camp nor financially able to travel.
I’m not much of a summer girl. So I tend to stay in and read a lot. But after those pics, I think I should take up rock climbing and maybe I should buy a motorcycle! Maybe go swimming more too!

My favorite summer activity is Camping and sleeping in! However if the guys doing all these other activities look like this wow am I going to have to start some new summer activities ;O)
Going to the beach
Those pictures are persuasive lol, they make me want to go try out things that I don’t normally like. I prefer the winter and the snow to the heat of the summer.
My favorite thing to do in the summer though would have to be being able to go down to the beach and collect beach glass.
love our family vacation in lake tahoe
I love reading on the beach and checking out man candy!

I’ve got to agree with Shadow, playing in the rain is right up there as one of my favorite things to do in the summer. However, the family reunion at my uncles lake property is pretty high on my list as well.
