savor summer

Man, my computer literally has dust on it.
Now-a-days I've just been checking emails and getting back to peeps via the handy cell phone, while I'm flat on the couch with crackers and ginger tea at my reach. The nausea is still in full swing, and the baby belly growing exhaustion is killer.

Good news... FALL (my fav season!) is almost here!
And more good news, you still have a month left of summer,
so soak up and savor the last drops of it before it's gone.
It's funny, here in SoCal the scorching summer heat just arrived, perfect timing I'd say. :)

Here's some last minute summer suggestions, so gather the fam, and go at it!
And come back and share what you crossed off your list! I'd love to read about it while I'm bed-ridden. :)
.
Feel the sand in your toes...Taste something sweet and juicy...
Be one with nature...Ride a bike...Sleep in a tent
...Listen for the ocean in a seashell...Have a picnic...
Pick berries...Ride in a boat...Plant a garden
...Lie in a hammock...Fly a kite...
Blow dandelions...Catch butterflies...
Run through a sprinkler...Take in a baseball game...
Throw a frisbee...Chalk up the sidewalk
...Roast marshmallows...Jump off a diving board...
Go on a hike...Go on a roadtrip...Make a fort...
Find a rainbow...Stargaze...Connect with bugs
...Swing the day away...Watch the waves roll in...
Take a plunge...Have a water-balloon fight...
Look for cloud formations...Take a nap on the grass
...Skip rocks...Play hide-and-seek...Dig for worms
...Smell flowers...Set up a lemonade stand...Go fishing...
Put on a play...Run barefoot...Make mud pies...
Blow bubbles...Hold your breath under water
...Build a sandcastle...Do a cartwheel...
Play kickball...Hula hoop...Go on a scavenger hunt
...Build a box car...Get lost in an adventure...
Eat ice-cream sandwiches...Catch a sunset...

And here's a look back at our summer roadtrip. Oh, the memories we made!
