Writing Challenge #3--Taste of Summer


As much as I enjoy spending the school year with all of you (and I do!), I love summer break.  There's just something so wonderful about having days with absolutely nothing planned, as well as those fun vacations and new adventures.  I love all the possibilities! 

WRITING CHALLENGE #3 

What says summer to you? This week is your challenge is to describe summer. This can be done as a poem, as a narrative description of your favorite vacation or a typical summer, or a fictional story describing the perfect summer. The choice is yours.

Don't be afraid to have fun.  This is my summer to-do list.  I had fun being creative and doodling. I know my artistic ability isn't stellar, but it makes me happy :)



I was looking through some photos of past summers that inspired a summer poem.  


Summer Is..

Relaxation
A break from stress
Hours to read and write and enjoy
Time with family and friends

Activities
Biking, hiking, fishing, swimming, and
Sports—most days, all summer 
In the heat

Travel
To places both familiar and new
Road trips together
Adventure awaits

Celebrations
Some every day and others substantial
A birthday or afternoon ice cream just because
Savor each moment

Days 
Are long but they feel so brief
There just aren’t enough minutes to soak it up
Before it all ends
