THINGS TO DO THIS SUMMER

Contributed by Stacie Thrush, Editor

While searching for some fun summer ideas, I came across an article that said “Summer makes many adults feel like a kid again”.

I remember several years ago, hanging out with friends and we decided to get a old school Slip n’ Slide and relive our childhoods. We laughed and enjoyed that so much. Maybe more so in our 30’s than we did as kids.

A couple years ago I had gone back to West Virginia during the summer and I found myself playing in a swimming pool, riding ATVs, picking blackberries and roasting marshmallows by a campfire. It felt so carefree, just like summer as a kid.

Here are some ideas for some Summer Fun that could make you feel like a kid again!
