Enjoying the Outdoors

My favorite Time of year is the summer. I like being Outdoors, doing Anything from Hiking to going to the Beach. One thing about working in an office all week is that I don’t get much Fresh air. With summer here, I plan to take Full advantage.

Last week, I went to the beach with some friends. I was glad I brought Sunscreen since it was a really hot day, and I’m sure I would have gotten a Sunburn within 15 minutes! We set up our Beach umbrella And Beach chairs, and played some Volleyball. A few of us went into the ocean for a Swim, but most of my friends just Lounged around on the Sand.

This weekend, I’m going hiking. I stopped by the store and got some Insect repellent. The last time I hiked in the mountains, I came back with big Mosquito bites all over my legs. This time, I’m going to be prepared. I was going to try a new Trail and I wasn’t going to let a few mosquitoes get in the way.
