aaah, summer

Time to be a kid at heart again...
​Don't stay late at the office cleaning.  Enjoy the sounds of summer, like children running, playing and laughing as the sun sets on these long days.  Enjoy a great barbecue with family and friends.  Maybe watch the Diamondbacks slug a few baseballs at the ballpark.
While the temperatures are rising, this is a good time to slow down a little and enjoy life at a slower pace.  Learn from the kids and just sit back and relax a little or see how big of splash you can make doing a cannonball into the pool like you used to.  (It's actually quite fun and surprises the people around you!)
Did you know that watermelon is one one of summer's favorite treats?  Along with snow-cones and s'mores.  These taste just as good as adults!  What is your favorite snow-cone flavor - red, blue or purple or a mixture of all of them? ( I know that these aren't actual flavors - but it's still fun to say!)
On those really hot summer days, it's a good time to finish up home improvement projects that you have been putting off.  Use your imagination and try something new.  Challenge yourself to find something fun in every day.
Be sure to use plenty of sunblock, stay hydrated and enjoy the First Official Day of Summer!
