My second recommendation for summer fun is to get out and enjoy nature by taking a hike. Be sure to bring plenty of water and mosquito repellent, and if you're experiencing a heat wave where you are, get out early in the morning. There's nothing like the sounds of nature to revive your soul. Bird calls, wind in the tall pine trees, the crunch of the trail under your feet.
When you get where you're going, take a rest and enjoy the peace and tranquility around you.
