Why Summer is my Favorite Season?

Why Summer is my Favorite Season?

Summer, the smell of fresh-cut grass wafting through the air, the sound of the ice cream truck making 

its way through your neighborhood, or the sound of kids screaming, laughing, and jumping into the 

pool on a hot summer day. This is the only season you would see these things happening, and that 

what I love so much about it. There’s not a day during summer, that you cant find something to do 

and if your like me either stuck at school or work your wishing you were outside enjoying the beautiful 

weather. There is so many reasons why summer is my favorite season of the year but mostly 

because of the warm weather, spending more time with family, and of course our annual beach trip.

The first thing I think of when I think of summer is the weather. The warm weather is perfect for 

outdoor activities like the waterpark or pool for the kids and the river or grilling out for adults. The 

options are endless when the weather is beautiful with the sun out, not a cloud in the sky and a slight 

cool breeze. When it is cold outside no one feels like doing anything, especially walking out of the 

house. All you want to do is stay warm, bundled up in a blanket, with a warm drink. But during the 

summer when it is hot outside all you want to do is be outside jumping on the trampoline, swimming in 

the pool or if you don’t have a pool, a water hose will do. I think kids’ playing outside is important, I 

think they should get out and be more active, have some fun outside instead of sleeping all day or 

playing a video game all day. Summer weather to me just makes for a more productive, fun, and 

enjoyable day.

During the summer I spend a lot more time with all my family because my siblings are out of school 

for summer so we do a lot more family gatherings. If not during the week, we always do something 

together on the weekends, whether we do a big cook out with friends and family or all load up and 

spend a weekend at the river. Whatever we do we take full advantage of the beautiful weather, at 

cookouts all the kids swim while the moms lay out and the dads drink beer and talk about NASCAR 

and who’s in the points lead. We usually end the night with smores and some more night swimming. 

When we go to the river all the girls soak their self in sun tan lotion, bake in the sun, while cruising 

down the Warrior River.

We usually stop in a slue where the water is still and knee board after all the kids had a turn and are 

exhausted, we stop and the kids get back in the water to swim some more while my dad grills 

hamburger and hotdogs. The ride back to the river house is the best part; every one is tired and calm. 

The sunset is going down, reflecting off the water and you can’t help but thank God for all you have in 

life and being able to enjoy this time with my family. Every year my family goes on an annual beach 

trip to Gulf Shores; we usually stay five days and four nights at Phoenix X. We save up a year in 

advance and start counting down the days until we leave.

On the drive down there no one can sleep because we are so excited to get there all the kids scream 

at the first sight of a palm tree, because they know we are getting close. After a long five hour drive 

---

we finally arrive and you can smell the salty air and feel the hot, sticky humidity. We all forget the 

bags and take off straight to the beach, kicking off our flip flops and just laughing and playing with one 

another because we are just so happy to be here together. We spend the next four days on the beach 

until the sun goes down then we finish the day off with fun activities, like putt-putt, go kart riding at our 

favorite place Crazy 8, and lastly making an important stop at one of those cheap souvenir shops so 

the whole family can get a air brushed t-shirt to add to the collection.

I treasure these beach trips and all the memories that are made on the trips because one day all of 

our lives with grow so busy we may not be able to make time for these trips. But for now I’ll take 

advantage of every minute of the time I get spend with my family not only on beach trips but every 

day. Use to summer was a break for me, I was excited to get out of school from summer break 

because I got to sleep in, not worry about homework, be up all hours of the night hanging out with my 

friends but now it means much more to me. Family is so important now; I have no break, between 

work, school, and raising my daughter.

When I go on these beach trips it will be for a weekend and I will cherish every moment I have down 

there. Summer to me is being able to get out and do more things together with my family that I don’t 

get to do when its cold outside because most of the time we are just sitting in the house not really 

interacting or communicating as much as we would while outside laughing enjoying each others 

company. Summer time is a time of simple pleasures and there never seems to be enough days to 

enjoy all of them. Because before you know it summer will be over, the weather becomes cooler, kids 

return to school, and you have another year to wait for the next beach trip and another year for them 

sweet summer days to return.
