S is for Summer

Sitting at school, last class on the last day of the school year. Tick tock. tick tock, finally the clock gets to 3:15. Finally, I jump out of my seat and say " SUMMER HERE I COME!" One of the sad things about when school is done is that you don't get to see your friends for 3 months unless you plan something with them.

As you may know already my blog is going to be about summer. Summer has to be one of my favourite seasons out of winter, spring and fall. This is probably my favourite because of the warm weather, hanging out with friends all summer, going to camp, the beach and sooo much more. Best of all summer, is having three whole months without going to school every day.

Two things that I basically do every single summer is go to the camp that I talked to you about a couple of posts ago. I'll go there until I'm 16 years old. And of course I go to my friend Hayley's Cottage for a weekend. It is about a 3 hour drive from my house.

At my camp I see my friends that I have not seen since last summer. I love going to summer camp for three weeks, but one thing I don't like is going home after three weeks because mostly all my best camp friends live in Toronto, or Oakville.

At Hayley's cottage, we do things like tubing, canoeing, swimming, camp fires and a lot more. I remember one time we had this other family over to have a campfire together. We were playing this one game named "I am going on a picnic". It is a never-can-tell game. You basically play this game until everyone figures out what is the secret of the game.

How you play: Say one of the players names is Calli and she wants to bring cake. Calli is allowed to come because her first letter of her name is c and the item that she wants to bring starts with the letter c. Say another person's name is Brandon and he wants to bring pop. He is not allowed to come because his first letter of his name is b and the item letter is p. Basically, the item that you bring must start with the same letter as the first letter in your name.

We were playing that game with three families. The third family has a cottage down the road from Hayley. So Hayley's friend's dad was thinking of what he should bring on the picnic and wanted to bring a "Tent". The leader of the game (who knew the secret of the game) wouldn't allow him to come because the first letter of his name was K. So next it was my mom and she said she wanted to bring a "Tent". She was allowed to come, because the first letter in her name is T. The player "K" asked, "Why could I not bring a tent?" But we didn't tell him. Everyone in the circle got the hang of the game after a couple of turns. So after a while we stopped playing and told him why he couldn't bring a tent, but that he could bring ketchup.

After three months of summer, it is almost time to go back to school. Which, if you are a kid, you really don't want to go back to school because you are doing school work every day. Well, it is o.k. if you go back to English Class to write blogs again. Nothing is wrong with blogging, right?

One last final thing I would like to say... have fun while it lasts and use your three months well because sooner or later you will be back at school waiting for the next summer to come.

Life Lesson: Summer is only three months, so enjoy summer while it lasts.
