Surviving the Summer with a Smile

By David Yotes


Regardless of what sort of weather we are granted when summer rolls around, it can still be a great season full of fun and laughter and good memory making. Oftentimes we depend on the weather to make us happy, when really, it's about taking the time off to simply be and enjoy each other.

Adaptability and a good attitude are essential. You want to be prepared to embrace the day however it ends up landing on you. If you do have a hot day, you want to be ready to take advantage of it, or if the weather seems cold and wet, have loads of things lined up to do inside.

There are several things that are good to have in the summer months. So many times we don't invest in good summer gear because we fear it will never come. However when it does come, we wish we had. Something essential for every family in the summer is a proper barbeque, not those disposable things, but something you can use again and again, as well as a freezer full of yummy things to cook.

Another good thing to have ready to put up is some sort of above ground pool. Intex make great above ground pools for the family. There are many pools that you can set up at a moment's notice and that provide children and adults alike with timely summer time splash relief.

Other great things to have in your garden are trampolines. They provide the kids with enough exercise, and even when the weather is bad, they can have a quick play on them and they've suddenly got their exercise in for the day. Sand pits are also great for younger children, and ideal for when the weather is nicer.

So regardless of how the weather plays, summer can be a great time for just being with family and learning new things. Maybe a rainy summer is the perfect time to learn how to make cupcakes, or a great time to catch up on a DVD box set. Whatever the weather, have a great summer.
