How to Make the Most of the Last Days of Summer

The weather may still be warm, but the call of fall is definitely being heard. Summer is quickly rushing toward an end. Although summer is almost over, it doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy a little last-minute summer fun. 

Beach Time

Head off to the beach to enjoy some late summer fun.  Be sure to pack some sunscreen, a camera, beach blankets, sunglasses, bottled water, and a bag for collecting those tiny beach treasures like seashells. School has started again, and the people at the beaches are beginning to thin out for the season. So, tossing around a football or throwing a Frisbee can be done without the added worry of accidentally running in to other people. 

Cook-out

The weather is ideal for a cook-out.  Invite the neighbors over or just have the family join you for an outdoors meal. Plan a fantastic menu with the usual items like hamburgers, hot dogs, and steak.  However, throw in a mix of food from both the summer and fall seasons like squash, sweet potatoes, watermelon, and cantaloupe. 

Picnic

If you don’t want to go to the expense of having a cook-out, try a picnic instead. Picnics are a fun way to finish out the summer season. They will gets you and the family outside for some much-needed sun. Since it is still warm, you might want to wait until the evening when the summer temperatures drop, and you can find some shade. Spread your blankets. Grab your basket. Most of all, enjoy the last few golden days of summer. 

Scrapbooking

As the seasons are changing, you can capture those last memories of summer in photos. You can make a scrapbook using your summer pictures and/or even some of the beautiful end of the summer foliage. 

Summer is coming to an end. So, enjoy those last few sunshine filled days with a few of the activities I mentioned. Happy End of Summer!
