Ideas to make your summer a great adventure

Summer starts in just a few days. No more school and lots of time to do things on our own! Have you made your summer checklist? I did, and here are the things that I want to do before school starts again:

• Eat ice cream. My favorite ice cream place is Baskin Robbins!
• Go to the beach. My favorite thing to do at the beach is to lie out in the sun and tan.
• Run through the sprinkler. If you don’t have a sprinkler, you can go to Splish Splash Water Park in Calverton.
• Catch fireflies. I like to catch fireflies at my house!
• Go swimming. Here are some swimming places that are near me: Safe-T-Swim in Levittown and The Nassau County Aquatic Center in East Meadow.
• Take a walk. You can take a walk in your neighborhood. The Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve in Merrick is also very nice.
• Stay up late and watch movies!
• Visit a local park. My favorite park is Eisenhower Park.
• Join the summer reading program at your local library.
• Make s’mores by a fire pit. That’s my favorite thing to do in the summer.
• Go camping. I like to camp out in my backyard!
• Try playing a sport. I enjoy playing softball.

I hope you enjoy your summer.
