Jordana Weiss | July 16, 2018

As summer comes creeping in, we sometimes need a reminder to take advantage of the longer days and warmer nights. There are so many things you probably want to do this summer, but just in case your list is on the shorter side, we’ve come up with a few things that would make your summer awesome. These activities all take advantage of the gorgeous magic of summer, and can help us appreciate it even more, so grab some friends and let’s get started!

Go swimming in a lake

Nothing compares to swimming in a lake. The water is fresh, and it usually gets a lot warmer than the ocean, so we’re not struggling to stay warm after just a few minutes. Plus, there’s no salt water to get in your eyes.

Even if you aren’t a fantastic swimmer, find a raft or inflatable toy that you can lounge in for some uninterrupted hours of floating on a gorgeous lake. Schedule this activity later in the summer, so the lake has time to warm up after a long cold winter.
