Summer is one of the best seasons of the year. There's a little something special in it for everyone at any age. Here's just a quick reminder of why we love summer so much:

• Ice cream trucks and local ice cream shops
• Beach trips on weekdays and the smell of the ocean
• Sand castles large and small with moats and decorated with shells and stones
• Swimming in the ocean or in outdoor pools because that first splash isn't too cold
• Warm weather all day every day
• Long runs in the morning before the heat, or at night when it's cooling off
• No school, no homework, no stress for those hard-working students who deserve a break every now and again
• 4th of July celebrations and feeling patriotic
• Barbecues with the works- hot dogs, cheeseburgers, steak, chicken, kabobs
• Tank tops, shorts, flip flops, sundresses, and that wonderful feeling when you feel comfortable in your clothes
• Fireworks at night for holidays, and sometimes fireworks for no reason
• Outdoor concerts and people making music for the love of it, not for the money
• Water balloon fights with your best friends
• Smell of sunscreen and not getting sunburns
• Movie marathons for those bad weather days
• Thunder storms where you can hear the thunder and falling asleep to the sound of rain
• Sleeping in because you want to and you're tired
• Staying up late because you want to and you're wide awake
• Air conditioning to control those muggy days
• Reading outside in a hammock, at the beach, wherever summer takes you
• Spending more time with family and friends
• Roller blading and biking in your neighborhood or in a park
• Fishing on a pond or a lake with your old man
• Summer carnivals, balloon animals, buying tickets, winning prizes
• Amusement parks and being brave enough to go on that scary roller coaster
• Gathering around fire pits with your friends and throwing in tiny leaves to watch them burn up
• Making s'mores and setting marshmallows aflame
• Lazing around and doing nothing
• Cold lemonade with ice
• Driving with the windows down blasting your favorite song
• Parades through town celebrating everything
• Relaxation and enjoying life

These are only a few of the reasons that summer is great. Remember, with summer comes more freedom for teen drivers, so make sure they're safe!
