Sweet Summertime

Oh my. My favorite season, which just so happens to be summer, is something I could talk about forever. There is so much I could say to try and express my love for the beautiful months of June, July, and August. Ever since I was a little girl, summer has always been my favorite season of the year. My mom has things that I brought home from kindergarten that had pictures of the beach on them and stories why I loved summer. I’m so lucky (in my opinion) because my uncle is the President of Bay Beach Club in Crystal Beach, Ontario. Therefore, my childhood summers were spent at Crystal Beach in Canada. That’s why I think I have such a love for Canada and the beach embedded in my soul and it’s a part of me. So ever since then, I’ve gone to Crystal Beach every summer with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin. Crystal Beach to me is the epitome of summer. And even as I grew older, I continued to go to the very same beach, and I started going with my best friend and her family for weeks at a time. We get the same cottage and hang out with the same people every year. It’s like my summers in Crystal Beach are like their own little lifetime that’s separate from reality. The days are a blur of swimming to the pier and lying in the sand, and the nights are just as fun as the days, with bonfires, hide and seek, and bike rides to the beach. So that’s why I consider summer as my favorite season. Crystal Beach technically isn’t my whole summer, but it might as well be. I spend scattered weeks there through July and August, and as soon as someone asks me what I did over the summer, I can gush about Crystal Beach for hours!
