Summer, My Favorite!
After the change of Spring comes my personal favorite season, Summer! During the Summer, there's no school, it's hot out, and the sun is out for as long as it can be!
There are so many great activities to do during Summer days. One of my favorite things to do is to grab a book, some water, a snack, my chair, and head down to the beach. I love to feel the warm rays of the sun, and feel the salty ocean air.
One of my favorite parts about Summer is the food!! When it's hot out, people like to barbecue and cook as well as eat outside! Some of my favorite foods to cook on the grill are burgers, salmon, chicken, and vegetables. Another thing I like to do after enjoying a meal outside is to roast marshmallows on hot coals. To roast a marshmallow, I take a long stick, put the marshmallow on the end of it and place it near the hot coals. Sometimes you have to be really patient, other times the marshmallow will roast quickly. I love how gooey the marshmallow becomes!
