Some of my favorite memories and July activities as a kid were summer nights and having a fun patriotic party with a July bbq with my whole family and friends. In one place we lived in, the older kids and younger siblings would play hide and seek at dusk during the summer months on a whole block.

A cloudy sky at dusk — Nothing is better than having summer fun on a fantastic night.

We would hide under carports and in trees in backyards. It was so fun – there must have been 30 kids playing.

The best part was there was a lake across from our house, and I remember eating good food and watermelon and playing with sparklers with all the neighbors in the summer sitting by the lake.

Anytime is a good time and a great opportunity to make memories with friends and the entire family. I heard someone say recently – you never know when it’s a “last time.”

A woman holding a lit sparkler — What’s better than enjoying fireworks at home with the family?

You didn’t know it would be the “last time” you’d play kickball in the street or ride your bike to the convenience store with friends.

Make a point to make those memories – don’t be too busy or self entertained (hello, cell phones) to mark any day or few minutes as a special day.

My kids loved that I kept tons of bottles of $1 shaving cream in the house – we never knew when a shaving cream fight might break out. Hubby and I might start one ourselves and then throw them all in the backyard with cans of shaving cream.

Fireworks in the sky — Enjoy every summer day like it’s the last.

Don’t let those warm, long summer nights go to waste. Get in the kitchen as a family and make a colorful meal with healthy recipes or a red, white, and blue dessert and some sweet treats, such as an American flag fruit tart or strawberry shortcake for a July picnic and summer holiday or just because you can.
