Summer Lovin'

I love summer.

Who doesn't love summer?
I'm going to be a teacher.

And in one of my classes, we had a debate on year-round schools.

I can't imagine not having a summer.

Now, I get it's not literally year-round.

It's like, 8 weeks on, 2 weeks off.

Or something to that effect.

But I still think it's dumb.

I feel like summertime is a key part of American culture.

Summertime is the best part of being a kid.

Heck, I'm nearing 23 and I still love everything about summer.

Bonfires.

Freshly cut grass.

S'mores.

Lemonade stands.

The 4th of July.

Fireworks.

The smell of the grill.

Burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob.

Fresh juicy watermelon.

Mosquito bites.

Summer romance.

Starry nights.

Night games.

Cabin time.

Kneeboarding, wakeboarding, skiing, tubing.

Thunderstorms.

Fishing.

Sunburns.

Suntanning.

Boating.

Beach.

Swimming.

Picnics.

Barefoot.

Parades.

Summer jobs.

Baseball - both little league and major.

Ice cream.

Water fights.

Volleyball.

Endless nights.

I love everything about summer.

Yes, even the mosquitos.

I feel like the country is so patriotic during summer.
Maybe that's why I feel it's part of American culture.
When I think of summer, I think of the song "It's America."
If you haven't heard it, enjoy:

Man, I {love} summer.
