Our favorite Summer pastimes

News flash: Being a kid in the Summer was fun…adulting is HARD!

Here are the ten “old-school” Summer pastimes we loved most growing up, according to the NY Post:

  • Spending so much time with friends
  • Bonfires
  • Camping in the woods
  • Swimming
  • Family vacations and reunions
  • Sleepovers
  • Playing outside all day
  • Camping in the backyard 

With 2020 being the “staycation” year, maybe it’s time to pass some of these pastimes down to our kids, no?

What did you love most about Summer when you were young?
