Something that has become synonymous with summer in our house is WATERMELONS.  The kids can wipe out an entire watermelon in no time flat.

It’s hard to embrace summer when the heat index reaches the 100s and every moment outdoors is just a countdown until you’ll next be in A/C.  It makes me yearn for Fall… but I don’t want to wish away summer.  So this weekend, we’ll use cookie cutters to make fun watermelon bites, plug in the slip’n’slide, fill some water balloons,  and get outside… even if we’re back in the A/C before lunch time.  We’ll make some summer memories, one watermelon at a time!

I’m ridiculously late to the June calendar game but here it is regardless.  I thought, since I’m so tardy with posting, I could make another fun printable out of the design.

A couple years ago my friend and I wrote the most epic summer fun list.  Living in the sunshine state means the list can stay active for 8 months out of the year. (#ilivewhereyouvacation)  It involves s’mores, beach days with family, corn hole with neighbors, baseball games with friends and even a little gold leafing.  You know, as you do.  Every summer I look forward to checking off as many ideas as possible.

We’ve had a rocky start to our summer here in Orlando.  There has been immeasurable tragedy.  I don’t even have words.  It seems trivial to even think of a “fun list” when so much pain and fear is in the air.

But hiding can’t be the solution… it’s loving our neighbors, praying for each other, praying for our city, claiming our city beautiful from the clutches of fear and despair, counting our many blessings.  Living each day we are blessed with to the fullest.

Here’s a little list to get you jotting down ideas for your summer.  May your days be covered in sunshine and full of the love and grace only our Lord can give.
