All types of things to do this Summer

As the school year comes to a close and all we can think about is the ending of the school year, and for us seniors, the closing of our time here at holy family. We must cling to the fleeting summer time to cherish the last months with our friends before we go off. It can be considered our calm before the storm where we are thrown out into an entirely new environment and we want to find a good way to spend it.

One very fun activity is to go to a drive-in movie drive-in movie theaters are seeing a resurgence. Find and pack the car full of popcorn and snacks, and enjoy a fun outing. I know that there is at least one drive in still out there located in commerce city, the 88 drive in has became a staple for many. If there’s no drive-in near you, consider setting up one in your backyard with a movie screen.

Warm summer days call for cooking outside. Enjoy a cookout, whether it be with your friends cousins sisters mom, or just you and your palls, bust out the grill and throw on a couple brats and some corn on the cob. And enjoy it while munching on some sweet watermelon combined with good vibes and no one’s in a bad mood. Even if you don’t want to go the whole nine yards grab a blanket and any food you want and go have a picnic. The beauty of a picnic is it can be at any location you desire, so you might like the city park or high on a cliff. Wherever you go enjoy it and pick up after yourself now.

We are pretty fortunate to have the Mountains not to far so we should use them to our full advantage. There’s no guarantee you’ll be able to totally unplug from digital life on a camping trip, but Colorado will make sure you have all the inspiration to do so. There’s no better way to get close to the state’s abundant wilderness areas than by making one of its campgrounds home for a few nights, either in a tent under the stars or a fully equipped RV. With campsites in 43 state parks on more than 22 million acres of national forests and grasslands and in hundreds of private campgrounds, it’s easy to find a tranquil spot to get back to basics and revisit the simplicity of nature. Colorado may be landlocked, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t shorelines. On thousands of acres of boat-worthy water, boaters find solace traveling through mountain basins and deep, blue-water oases on the wide-open plains. Tow a water skier or tuber or just feel the wind on your face as you glide across Colorado’s lakes and reservoirs, which often allow boaters wide wakes. Some are BYOB but many have marinas that offer rentals to get you on the water.

Whatever be your fancy, make sure to enjoy yourself and live in the moment these are the good old days where our fondest summer memories will come from. So make sure to make them the best they can be and be grateful for the day in front of you, because they are limited.
