Ice Cream Summer of Snacking
Couldn't you just eat this up?
[GIVEAWAY CLOSED: The Winner has been notified]
Can you believe that it is almost Summer?
That's right, Summer is less than one month away. The kids are out of school and I am constantly looking for ways to entertain them. I am thinking ice cream treats would be a perfect way to satisfy their snacking ways on a hot Summer day.
Don't we all just need a little more ice cream in our lives?
Drumsticks are one of my absolute favorite things to eat. For dessert. For a snack. Pretty much for any occasion. I love Drumsticks. The only problem is hiding them from my kids in the freezer. They are little thieves.
What are your favorite ice cream treats to eat? Whatever they are, wouldn't you just love a brand new freezer to keep them in?
I am thrilled to have partnered with Nestle on the Ice Cream Summer of Snacking giving my readers the opportunity to win a GE® 13.7 CU. FT. Frost-Free Upright Freezer.

13.7 Cubic ft Capacity

OH my I love them ALL. If I had to choose one it would be the Dibs, because they are small, I like to savor my ice cream, and they are a great size for my kiddos to share with me too.
I love the Skinny Cow the most!!
I love Dibs because since they are little, it SEEMS like you really aren’t splurging that much (even though you eat half the box).

What a perfect giveaway just in time for summer. How about we eat a lot of ice cream in the summer and keep the ice cream man busy
We also loved to get in our bathing suits and turn on the sprinklers and run around the yard with our friends. We would run the hose through the top of our swingset to get the water to drip through the holes and we would pretend it was a shower. We also really loved to play kickball, walk to 7-11 and the mall.
I forgot to say they are delicious. (drumsticks)

We try to make it to six flags every summer at least once!

I like mowing the grass in the summer- the smell of fresh mown grass is one of my favorite outdoor smells
I love the way the street ‘steams’ after a hot day and a short summer rain- there are tiny rainbows! So, watching the summer rain is one too 🙂
The original Drumsticks are my favorite:) Thanks for this great giveaway!

I like the Skinny cows. They taste a lot better than I thought they would and they really do satisfy my sweet tooth!
Something we like doing in the summer is going to the beach.
We also like going to the boardwalk.
I also like the drumsticks – my grandparents always had them when I came over!
I think the Dibs sound good, but I’ve never tried them! Can you believe that? They look convenient because you can just pop them into your mouth 🙂

One of the things that my family likes to do over the Summer is camping. Love waking up early in the morning to the great outdoors. : )
melissap21702{at}aol{dot}com
We enjoy slowing down over the summer – no after school activities, no late nights doing homework, etc.
We enjoy sitting outside with cold watermelon during the summer, with our feet in the pool.
Another thing my family likes to do over the Summer is to sit around the fire pit hanging out and making s’mores
melissap21702{at}aol{dot}com
We also enjoy going to the farm to Pick-your-own.

My family loves to get together for cooking out – and we all love ice cream, so some of these yummy treats would be good (and easy) for dessert!
This summer we plan to make a couple of trips to D.C. to check out zoo and other museums.

My favorite is the Dibs, but I really am thinking I have to try Skinny Cow – less guilt!
And to get out of the heat we love to go to the movies in the summer time. The free ones are the best.

Since my family is scattered, we each do a lot of traveling – especially to see each other! I went to Japan to see one son & family already. We all love to travel.
I live where the country’s most beautiful beaches are (we will see if we can still claim that after all this oil spill business) so we love to go to the beach!
Most of my family love fishing, so we also love to walk around in the Bass Pro Shop stores! Today I am taking two grandchildren to the store as they are having crafts to do there today!

Drumsticks were always my favorite. Until I neede to lose weight. I haven’t had one in sooo long!
We all love ice cream and to make our own. Each summer we like to come up with different flavor combinations to create.
Since I tend my grandchildren on a regular basis, I like to take them to the library, to check out books and to look at the cool aquarium they have!
When it gets too hot to be out much (in FL it gets that way!) I spend a lot more time reading to my grandchildren, they love it!
When we were kids, we liked to play out in the rain, now I like to walk in a nice gentle summer rain with my grandkids. As long as there is no lightening!
Drumsticks because I ate them when I was little 🙂
The kids love to swim in the summer. One son has a pool, so we frequently get together over there so the little ones can play in the water!
I love Drumsticks!! Thanks

My birthday is 7-11 and I love to partay!!
Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwichs are the best.
We love camping and that is one of the things our family enjoys in the summer.
My family and I love the Skinny Cow ice cream bars. It’s the perfect amount of ice cream — but it’s hard not to eat just one sometimes!
The National Cherry Festival is in my town and I love all of the event!!
Maybe this year, since I’m preggers, I’ll enter the pie eating contest..cherry of course!
My girls are grown now, but I have two little granddaughters who love the outdoors–especially the pool. Since we have such wonderful weather most of the year here in Florida, they’ll be starting swimming lessons next week. I have a feeling since I watch them during the day, that this summer is going to be spent in the pool!
Sheryl Crow is coming to town next week. I can’t wait for that!!
My 2 year old will be so excited to see the Blue Angels perform this summer. He loves airplanes!
Oh I love Skinny Cow – I can still have delicious ice cream without all the guilt.
Original drumsticks for me. Don;t they remind you of childhood?

Now that I finally realized my eyesight was going and got glasses (bifocals!!!!), I’m looking forward to doing some reading this summer. 🙂 Love sitting outside on the deck in the evenings with a book.
My family’s favorite thing to do all summer long is go to our local pool. There are mobs of kids and we parents all have a great time, too! 2 more days to go until the end of school and we can’t wait!

We love walking the trails at the park together and we also love swimming and backyard bar-b-ques.
Although at the moment he’s more into the 60″ TV in the living room and ESPN than books – LOL. Gotta love summer home from college!
Nature walks are the best. We have broken robins eggs, cool rocks … we even found an antler once. No small feat in our heavily populated suburban area!

My son also works over the summer (hopefully) since his school schedule doesn’t really mesh well with holding down a job. He didn’t find anything last year, I’m hoping he has better luck this year.
I am the co-founder of the literacy organization Success Won’t Wait in Delaware, so we do a lot of reading all summer long! http://SuccessWontWaitInc.wordpress.com

This summer I plan on swimming and eating hotdogs by the pool as much as possible, that’s my perfect summer day.
.-= Lori V´s last blog ..Drilling Again =-.
My son also enjoys spending time with his friends – it seems like everyone comes home for the summer 🙂
Every day the kids need to do a little bit of community service before we head off to the pool or another adventure. They usually label/clean/repair books for Success Won’t wait for an hour and then they get the reward of fun time.

Spending time with our family is the BEST. especially my great Aunt Olive who will be 100 years old on December 27. She’s still so spry — yoga every day!

Time at the beach, which is about 1 1/2 hrs. away. Our big lab loves that too — she gets to dig, dig, dig and no one reprimands her!
.-= Susan McNeill´s last blog ..Rainbow-hued glass from Purple Cloud Studio =-.
Sad to admit this, but I am one of those crazy people with a metal detector that you see on the beach. But the kids LOVE it! We’ve found all kinds of things, from coins to bits of jewelry, to Matchbox cars (lots of those!). No Spanish Pieces of Eight yet, but we keep trying!

Summer time is = to living on our big ol front porch.
Summer time heat drives up outside to get a breath of air. And the big ol porch is the place to meet and greet for us.
Also the place to eat that evening bowl of icecream or the special ‘sicles for the grandbabes.
We have a big vegetable patch filled with herbs, tomatoes, peppers, squash and lots of pumpkins for fall. It takes a lot of time to maintain, but it’s a family project. And of course, then we eat the “fruits of our labors!”
.-= Susan McNeill´s last blog ..Rainbow-hued glass from Purple Cloud Studio =-.
We enjoy cooking out 🙂 Especially enjoying grilling veggies from my garden!
We have a bonfire pit in the backyard. Not only if those pretty ones for the patio, but a big honking one dug out of the earth and lined with rock for giant bonfires. We often have cookouts/bonfires for the neighbors and our friends, eat hot dogs, roast marshmallows and in general act silly.
.-= Susan McNeill´s last blog ..Rainbow-hued glass from Purple Cloud Studio =-.
Ever since I was a kid, I have loved original drumsticks. My favorite ice cream treat hands-down.
I got hammock for Mother’s Day a few years back, which was a lovely gift. Of course, it’s hard to get all of the kids out of it long enough to kick back and read a book…

We love to go swimming in my parents pool!
Visiting our family in Cape Cod, MA is always a blast. My sister in law has a lovely house and sea kayaking is the kids’ favorite activity! We paddle out to this little sandbar at low tide and look for shells.
.-= Susan McNeill´s last blog ..Rainbow-hued glass from Purple Cloud Studio =-.
We also love to have cookouts and grill burgers and brats and corn yummy! With watermelon of course!
Local museums are great way to beat the heat. We’ve found that if we join our local Natural History Museum, the have a reciprocal agreement with museums all over the country. So you can get in other places free with your membership card! We’ve been to NASA in Florida, the Children’s Museum in Houston, and the Children’s Museum in Albuqurque all free. Great deal and a way to support our local (and very small) natural history museum.

The Drumstick is my favorite brand out of all of those. I like the original drumsticks, and the different flavored ones. My favorite is the ones with caramel or chocolate down the middle of the ice cream! These are my favorites because these have been around for a LONG time and I have always enjoyed them. They taste good, they are a quick and easy snack, and my favorite part is the waffle cone!
We love the movies! There are usually so many great ones that come out in the summer, so we’re all looking forward to spending some time seeing the latest flicks together!
.-= Susan McNeill´s last blog ..Rainbow-hued glass from Purple Cloud Studio =-.
During the summer I enjoy swimming. Nothing beats a nice day at the pool on a hot day. I’m not one for laying out in the sun. I’m ALWAYS in the water.
We also love “movie night at home.” Our neighbors have three kids and we have three kids, so we pile into one house or another, movie the furniture, spread out the blankets and pillows and pop up some popcorn. Cheap entertainment and memories that will last a lifetime!
.-= Susan McNeill´s last blog ..Rainbow-hued glass from Purple Cloud Studio =-.
Sometime in August we’ll start back-to-school shopping,. The best is the actual school supplies… it’s sort of a game to see how much we can get and how cheaply. Staples will have boxes of pencils for 1 cent and Office Max will have crayons or markers for a quarter. Every time we leave the house we hit another store. Most of it we save for a shoebox mission program run by our church before Christmas.

We love spending the day at the beach although now its harder since we moved. We used to live 15 minutes from the ocean on Long Island and spent a lot of time there.
We visit the public library every week. The children’s librarian has known the kids since they were born, so we love to visit, pick up a bag of books, and of course participate in the Summer Reading Program. if the kids read for a certain number of hours (varies by age) they get a free book. they also get entered into drawings for prizes, so it motivates them even more to read.

We live near Longwood Gardens in PA and have a family membership. we love to go an see the changing exhibits. They even have a permanent exhibit of tree houses — but these are nothing like your backyard variety. We’ve decided we could actually live in one like the Swiss Family Robinson!

Everyone in my family runs (I am definitely the worst). So running as a family is a good thing to do and it keeps my kids in shape for fall sports, too. Just gotta do it in the evening because it gets hot, hot, hot!

We bought a Coleman tent a few years back — not for actually going camping — just for the backyard. It’s great because we can have sleepovers and even when we have parties, we set it up. It says it holds about 10 people to sleep, but we’ve had many, many more than that!

My daughter has been busy getting ready for her dance recital, lots of extra rehearsals.

The original drumstick has got to be my fav! I remember eating it at school AND getting it off the ice cream truck in the summer. I don’t even like peanuts, but I WILL always eat a drumstick!
We love to get out and take day trips as a family and see what all we can find to do close to home.
We like to take long walks with the kids and our dog in the evenings and look for owls.

the original drumstick – they are soooooo good and I remember them from childhood on hot days!
Since I’m looking to be a little lighter this summer (and the everyday after that) I am loving the Skinny Cow items. Last night I ate my last ice cream sandwich… I guess I need more to fix my sweet tooth at night. Darn hormones.
GREAT GIVEAWAY!

Drats….I don’t Twitter.
I love to go for long walks in the summer. It’s fun to walk in a different direction each time to explore, look at peoples yards, flowers…but sitting on my deck eating a Skinny Cow gives me just as much pleasure. 😀 Did I just compare sitting to walking? LOL
My favorite is the origial drumstick. I remember eating them as a child. Delicious and brings back memories.
The Original Drumstick its a classic that reminds me of my childhood

What a great giveaway!! We could definitely use this as we get ready for little bit #2. Freezing ahead of time for dinners and whatnot would make life so much easier!!

We love to go pick our own strawberries in the summer. It’s healthier than buying them in the grocery, it gives us exercise AND something fun to do as family – but still productive!!
We like packing up a picnic lunch and taking it to the fountain in our area. The kids can put on their swimsuits and play in the fountain for free – it’s like an “Aqua Park” – free, clean, restrooms, pavilions with shade for a lunch – perfect! Then we always stop on the way home for a snow cone!
We enjoy going to u-pick farms and loading up on local produce and freezing so we have fresh fruit all year long!!
We love to go on picnic’s
.-= Gina´s last blog ..Bleck, what an awful night… =-.
During the summer we love to GRILL GRILL GRILL all the time for as many meals as we can!!! Nothing like hamburgers and fries during the summer!!
We take advantage of the drive in movie theater in our area – one of the few left! They show double features and charge $15 per car load, so it’s a great deal – bring a blanket, some lawn chairs – and you can bring in your own snacks if you want, which makes things much cheaper than the regular movie theater – we just always have to remember to bring the bug spray!
We love to go boating

Another favorite summer activity is going for a stroll along the river path when the sun is going down. It’s so peaceful, calm and beautiful.

I love coming home on Fridays and smelling all the freshly moved lawns – I dunno why but all my neighbors mow on Friday! LOL
I adore the The Original Drumstick because they bring back such great memories spent with family and friends ( not to forget to mention, they taste great too!)
In the summer time I enjoy being outside with my family soaking in the sun because we don’t see it a lot here in Oregon.
I enjoy having to have to do NOTHING most days lol except when I have to clean and cook and clean and cook, BLAH gotta love the summer tho at least I can take a vacation!
I have to admit that I LOVE the original drumsticks. The reason is because it is an indulgent treat, but it’s easy to stop at just one because you feel like you’ve gotten so much and it’s better than eating a whole bowl of ice cream! I am an ice-cream-aholic, so my willpower just seems to fade away when it comes to ice cream. But I can have ONE drumstick and I’m a happy camper!

Love taking all 4 children to a Phillies game. rsj2000mrs@gmail.com
My family just appreciates the simple-ness of an ORDINARY day spent at home together. My daughter has cancer, so we have learned to appreciate just being at home doing absolutely NOTHING – anything is better than being in the hospital, doctor’s office, clinic getting chemo…ANYTHING is better than that. If it’s hot outside (of course it always is!) we just turn the AC down, put on a great movie and eat ice cream. THAT is the very best thing in the whole world. The only thing that would make it better is when we hear she can get off chemo!

Every season has its flavors and one of my favorite things to do is eat corn on the cob with grilled steak or hamburgers!!
One of my favorite summer activities is the annual church picnic. It means lots of hot sun, great potluck food, and the old fashioned outside games like capture the flag, baseball, and wheelbarrow races.

We are pool freaks in the summer time. We spend at least 2 hours every afternoon, lounging pool side or playing in the water. 🙂
Skinny Cow is my favorite because I can enjoy my ice cream without the guilt!

My hubby and I like to go to our favorite ice cream stand and have a treat on hot nights. They are open late and it is so cool to sit outside and eat melting ice cream.
Summer sports are so much fun for families

My favorite ice cream is skinny cow
I love to make things fun for the girls, so most of our activities involve water or getting messy and being outdoors in the summer

I love the Drumsticks. I think it is the nuts on top – I always eat them all off first before getting to the delicious cone. I am allergic to wheat, but sometimes I cheat 😉

a favorite summer activity is spending the afternoon exploring a museum or nature center, and having a picnic there afterward.
I love going site seeing in the summertime.

Love taking a drive to an ice cream stand, the small local ones are the best

We like to take advantage of our summer days to make craft items. We do not usually have time during the school – not for the time consuming ones. The kids love to think up things to make for gifts or to decorate their rooms! Then we can eat ice cream afterward! Every thing is better with ice cream!
We love to go fishing. We used to put whomever was the youngest in a playpen with toys beside us and then we would fish and eat a picnic lunch before going home!
My wife buys skinny cow all the time!
We always had a big garden, which we divided into sections for each of us, family section, and then each kid section. They loved it when someone would ask to eat their lettuce, or please pass your tomatoes, etc. !!!
I like to take my kids to the zoo.
Camping, hiking and fishing are always fun!
I would love to take the kids camping!
Water parks are a ton of fun
I just bought a mini pool for the kids. They are pretty young so that is safe and fun
We like to rent canoes and go canoeing on the lake!
Skinny Cow – Ohh soooo creamy and smooth but less fat! Can’t find a better ice cream treat!
I used to live in Jersey and I love to go back up north occasionally and go jet skiing. THAT is summer fun
The lil drumsticks are a favorite

And my entry for this post is that another favorite thing to do in the summer is eat vanilla icecream with fresh strawberries! To die for.
We like to go to the open air star gazing events. Its amazing to watch!
We love Dibs at our house! I love them because it is a much cleaner ice cream to fee my 2 year old, and my 2 year old loves them because they are so yummy!
The original drumstick is my favorite. I love it because it’s a childhood classic that we used to get at the corner gas station with our dad.
We love to swim all summer, we go to our local pool almost everyday!

I like the skinny cow ice creams because even though I am dieting and I can still eat them and get away with it.

We like to watch the fireworks at the local country club from the top of our street. It’s gotten so popular that people leave their car on the street overnight so they have a “spot” to sit.

We love to make homemade ice cream in the summertime!
We love setting up the trampoline in the summer! Great way to burn off excess energy!
We are looking forward to having time to clean out the last two rooms of our house – lots of baby/toddler stuff I need to sell at consignment events this fall!
I made my own strawberry sorbet the other week and it was fantastic!
Can’t wait to do some summertime photoshoots with my nephews in the park!
I plan on spending a lot of time at the beach this summer.
I also have 3 weddings to attend this summer! Can’t wait to see some of my best friends tie the knot!
Sometimes we have a relaxing day- especially if it is raining -we play board games!
There is actually one of the few remaining drive in theaters about 30 minutes away. They still have the old car speakers and the concessions. We go and have a ball.
http://twitter.com/achrissmile/status/15905452497
sometimes one of our favorite things to do is to just hide inside from the blazing heat and be thankful for the a/c and good old movies!
Sometimes we get a bunch of movies, pop popcorn, make some sandwiches and have an all nighter ‘movie night’!
One of my favorite things about summer is driving with the windows down, without a coat on, feeling the warm breeze blowing in the windows.
We also make time to do more volunteering- we try to find things to do outside-like doing the annual river cleaning. Its fun, but a bit messy. It makes us realize not to pollute and to be careful what can be thrown where!
Since I have a small cat rescue, we find opportunities to become more involved in working and networking with people who do the same. Spring is usually ‘kitten time’ but summer is a great time for education.
We love to go garage saling during the summer! With only a few dollars, sometimes you can find hidden treasures 🙂
we love eating roasted corn on the cob

When camping isnt a reality. we like pitching a tent (or a couple small ones) in the backyard and having a campout!
We like to check out books with ‘ghost stories’ that are easy to remember-so when at sleepovers, the best storytellers come from my house!
I tweeted. http://www.twitter.com/soundsdisco
my son loves it when the ice cream man comes and we get ice cream and sit outside and eat ice cream.
When it’s too hot outside to play and too hot inside too, we head to the library where it’s nice and cool and there are plenty of good books to be found!
I like the original drumsticks! They are my favorite because of the chocolately center and cocolate and peanut outside!! plus they have the chocolate lined cone too! 🙂

i like to go with my family to an amusement park that is right by my house during the summer! its nice to just walk around.
pepsi_freak23(at)yahoo(dot)com
We love to go on nature walks!
Another ‘free thing to do’ -we put on swimsuits when it’s raining after it has been hot- the rain is surprisingly warm and cools off the longer it comes down. Its fun to stand under a rain gutter and almost like a waterfall!
I like getting books about different types of trees and how to identify them-then going on a nature walk and learning types of trees by leaf/bark etc. It’s fun, and educational!
We like getting books about birds and how to identify them-we either watch at home (we have a couple pair of binoculars) or go someplace where there are alot of birds. Our absolute favorite is to go to Eagle Point and watch the eagles!
I LOVE the lil drums! Just the right size!
nettysgirl at gmail.com
We also like getting books about different animals and the tracks they leave. Yep, we use plaster of Paris and will make casts of the different prints we see-especially down by a lake or river.
I like catching up on Saturday Night Live re-runs that I missed during the regular season.
I like to make my grandmother’s potato salad for my family…brings back memories!
Starting to sound like a dork, but we get alot of books on nature and animals.
We get books about rocks too- and go and find quartz, geodes (those are the fun) and rocks native to our area. Some rocks that are really interesting have been kept for years!
There is a quarry not too far away that has alot of fossils of both plants and fishes. We have been there many times looking for fossils and later come home and look up what they are!
Go to Fossil Rim animal park in Glen Rose, TX to see all the various animals. They have baby giraffes now so we’re looking forward to seeing them. The giraffes like to come peer in the car windows and will stick their heads inside if you forget to close the sunroof!
Go to Sandy Lake Park – a “park” that has rides, a pool, a train and other fun stuff for kids (mostly small ones).
Take the train from Grapevine to Fort Worth to visit the other side of town!
We spend alot of time outside-or at least as often as possible. Probably due to living through nasty MidWest winters. We like having water balloon and soaker fights too (OK not really fights just throwing water at each other) 🙂
Because it is the coolest place in the house, summer is also when we clean the basement. We go through last winter’s clothes and pack up the good and donate what has been outgrown. We also go through the canned goods since we have to stock up due to snowstorms! It would be great to have a deep freeze, then we could stock up on more meats!
Summertime is when we take road trips. Most times up to Minneapolis to see relatives that we don’t see alot of during the winter because of road conditions. We go and see Aunt Mary and oftentimes go to the museum there since it’s a bigger city!
Late summer is sweetcorn time here in the MidWest. If you have never had real MidWest sweetcorn, well you’re missing out! There are several sweetcorn festivals we go to, since most are free admission. We go and ride the rides and see the exhibits. And yes, we eat sweet corn 🙂
Popping a bowl of popcorn and watching a movie after a busy summer day.

I’m hoping I will be stocking a new freezer this summer with all the Specific Carbohydrate Diet meals I’ve been making for my daughter for her health problems. I haven’t been to sleep yet because I’ve been cooking all night for our trip to Shreveport. She can’t eat any of the food there, so we have to bring it all with us. I need to learn to cook in bulk and make homemade frozen dinners that I can pull out this summer and re-heat!
Stocking up the freezer with frozen treats 😉
Love getting outdoors and relaxing, or running around with the kids playing!

We are farmers and ranchers. Our summers are filled with working outside. Our children and their families are frequent visitors and we have many meals together, whether its a cook-out, a sandwich, or going to town for a burger.
I loved the drumsticks when I was a kid and still love them now. I grew up in the country so we rarely got ice cream bought from the store. These I remember.

My three girls, husband and I love to picnic. It doesn’t matter if it’s at a park, at the beach, in our front yard, in our driveway…it doesn’t matter. Our girls just love to be outside and enjoying the summer! Especially since we’re in Michigan and it seems to be mostly cold or rainy 3/4ths of the year. And what picnic is complete without a Drumstick..yum!
Wow! What an awesome giveaway. My favorite is the drumsticks. Just because they remind me of my childhood.
Our favorite thing to do for the summer is going to the beach. However we only get to do that every few years. =(
The original drumsticks are my favorite. They are yum-o! And who doesn’t love the chocolate in the bottom. 🙂
In the summer, my family loves to spend everyday outside – riding bike, taking walks, swimming, gardening, and just laying in the shade. 🙂
Summertime is a great time to take the dogs for longer and more walks. It’s great exercise for everyone!
We love going to the local craft shows in the summer! So many talented artists showcasing their talents!
We love to go to my Father in Laws farm and ride the horses bareback in the pasture, or saddle them up and take country rides!
I love making my own fruit Popsicle in the summer!
I love going to the drive-in movie theatre with my hubby on warm summer nights!
BBQs are the best!
Pilates in the park is also a great summer activity!
My favorite is the Original Drumstick! I absolutely love the variety pack and have been known to demolish a whole pack in the same day! I can’t help that I’m just addicted to the yummy caramel and chocolate middle!
.-= Mami2Mommy´s last blog ..What a Good Life Indeed – Que Rica Vida! =-.
We pull out the really old fashioned ice cream maker- so good- and I can see why ice cream is commercially produced- it takes time!
There’s nothing better on a sweltering hot day than to go to the movie theater and catch the afternoon matinee. The afternoons, many of the movies are just $1 to attend (not the new ones but maybe one we hadnt seen) . To get out of the heat and see a movie is great!
We like to play frisbee golf! 🙂
We like to participate in local fundraisers – car washes are the best, especially in this hot weather!
Grab a blanket, spread it out in the grass and cloud watch. 🙂
Hang out with friends who are home for the summer.
Dust off the bikes and hit the trail.
Catch lightning bugs!
OK this is gonna sound weird, but we like to watch the bats come out @ dusk at the local ball field (and no, not baseball bats – bat bats!)
They’re fascinating to watch (from a distance!!!!)
Get a kiddie pool and hang out on a hot summer day. Splish splash!
Lay out in the sun 🙂
Take a nap under a tree in the shade – something about sleeping outside is just so restful!
Not quite officially summer here (yet) but humid! On days like this when the humidty seems to make everyone a bit more cranky, just taking a nice drive with all the windows down and singing offkey brightens everybody’s mood:)
Go swimming! We don’t have a pool but there are several community ones in the area.
Go to the movies! Especially when I was a kid, the movie theatre was the place everyone went in the summertime to escape the heat 🙂
The The Original Drumstick can’t be beat!
Something that serves double duty is taking the dog outside and giving him a bath with the hose. Everyone gets wet, the dog gets to play, and everyone is cooled off!
We like to have lots of picnics–especially when it’s not too hot outside.
This is fun and when we cant go anywhere it works. We get the kiddy pool out and fill it with nice cool water- throw in some dishsoap and splash until there are bubbles galore. Then we give each other soap beards and soap hairdos -of course its a rinse off after but its fun!
Get a book about butterflies and bugs- then go out walking and see who can identify what. We try to find things that relate to our area, and we have alot of fun!
Skinny Cow for me, The Original Drumstick for my hubby, Lil’ Drums for the kids, and Dibs for everyone thanks for the chance to win

At the farm my Father in Law has a HUGE livestock watering container- it is better than most pools 🙂 Splish splash!

I really like The Original Drumstick. I like that you have the crunchy nuts and then you get to the ice cream; and then the texture of the cone. I’ve probably been eating these for 30+ years.

We love going to amusement parks
We like sitting outside when its warm outside and having a ‘picnic’ lunch in the yard- real picnics too, but the ones in the yard can be spur of the moment!
A family hike is so much fun- just seeing who will notice what. It gives a whole new perspective to the world.
I love to just sit out in the front yard and just watch my son play..an just hang out.
I love ice cream in a crisp cone during the summer!
