Are you planning to stay indoors this summer?

Most times I don't like going outside during the summer, except for late evening. Where we live it's daylight until almost nine PM,and the evening weather is very mild. So, that's not so bad. If I were a gardener, I'd have to go outside at that time and not any earlier. I'm not sure that would be the best time to do gardening, but I don't like the afternoon heat. Our weather gets very hot, sometimes over 100 Degrees. When I was a little kid, I loved being outdoors in the Southern heat, even on the hottest days. Me and my brothers would just jump in our kiddie pool or turn on the garden hose. Do you plan to stay inside this summer? Or, will you be going outdoors to enjoy the sun, surf and sand? Please share.

I will proberly be inside most of the summer. Except when I have to go somewhere. I get tired fast from the heat from having multiple sclrosis. Also shakey from spacicity. I wish I had the money to move to a cooler place but i don't.

It's way too hot here for real humans! And, i'm not much of a beach person. Sometimes I wonder why I moved here in the first place.

I understand the feeling. Florida is so hot already it was 94 F here today. I really hate to see how hot it is going to be in the next two months.

I will probably spend a fair amount of time outside this summer. My toddler loves playing outside, so we've been spending about an hour outside every day, besides our walks. We will probably put up his pool soon, so he can play in it. When it gets very hot, I can't actively play with Elliott, though. It just wears me out. Plus I can't spend much time in the sun, because even with lots of sunscreen on, and reapplied every few minutes I get really sunburns.

I don't like staying in the sun much unless I can get away to shade when I feel like it. I just don't take heat well which can be frustrating. It's one of the reasons why I don't like gardening or other things like that. So I stay inside when I can. If I spend too much time outside and get over heated it really takes it out of me.

Well now that I am 19 I am almost an adult and I get more freedom. This summer I am going to try and hang out with one of my friends who is younger than me. She is going away to college and I'm going to hang out as much as possible before she leaves. Then I am thinking of taking my little brother and little sister out to the movies and to the park and stuff so they won't be stuck in the house all day long. We don't go outside too much. But I am thinking of taking them out and at least giving my mother a day of from their noise and stuff. Hopefully they'll run so much in the park that they'll stay still for a few days afer that. I have a lot of plans for the summer. And I am hoping that I get the stimulus and my other check so that I can do some of the things in my plan.

I love to go outside and always can't wait until summer gets here. I am outside quite often during the day. Then when the pool opens up I spend a lot of time there since I like to swim. So I plan on making the most of the summer by being outside as much as I can.

I love being outside. I'll spend most of my time on the deck or in the swimming pool. And, now that I have a laptop, I can take my computer outside on the deck with me. I do enjoy the early morning and the evening best.

I love the sun and summer. I am planning on spending as much time as I can outside this summer! I am going to slather sunblock on me and the kids and have some fun! I am planning on getting them a kiddie pool soon. I have one for my two year old but it is too small for the bigger kids. We just bought new beach towels a couple of days ago!

I will go outside in the sun some. I will be taking my kids to the swimming pool when it is really hot so they can cool off. We won't go to the park when it gets that hot out though and we won't be out much after dusk as the mosqitos are terrible that time of day.

I love summer. It may be very hot and humid at times but I think what I love the most is that there's no classes and it's a time to be with friends. I love it because my friends and I are able to get together and have fun. I don't have plans of staying indoors. I want to be able to enjoy this time and make the best of it. ~

As the summer in my hometown is very hot,i prefer to stay indoors during the daytime. However,it offers me a wonderful morning with cool weather and blue sky .Leaves are dancing and singing in the slight wind.The birds are flying and singing among the trees.i usually get up early to jog with my friends wearing p3.i am deeply lost in the fantastic natural landscape and beautiful music. When the sun sets the time,the whole villeage shake off the noise and is covered with peace.i enjoy picking the apples in my orchard.

Here in Saipan, the weather in the summer is the best. LOL! I've never traveled so I would say Saipan has the best weather even in the summer. I'm a teacher, so I will be spending my summer in the classroom. We have three months summer until September when the school opens. So my summer is not that good, coz I get to be indoors for the summer with a bunch of students. But summer is the best times to be outdoors.
