It’s here, it’s here, summer is finally here!! Can you feel it in the air?! After a less than acceptable spring, Canadians are eager to get outdoors and make the most out of summer 2013! What makes summer “all good” for you? What are your essential summer events, tastes, or activities that truly define your summer?

Are you ready to get started? Here’s my newly started MCCain All Good Pinterest board for some inspiration. I also created this little graphic sharing my favorite things that make summer all good to me!
I love that! Great board! I love summer!
Thanks! I had fun making it!
There aren’t too many people who don’t love summer. It is all of the things you show in your graphic. The one great thing about summer that stands out the best is the bright warm sun shining down on you and the sweet soft warm air. Love summer.
Except for mosquitoes who think that I am manna to them, I love everything about summer! Great contest!
Summer is all good to me because of the lazy days spent with my boys. I love not having to get up and start rushing to get everyone out the door right away.
Watching the kids riding bikes and going to get slurpees!!
I love visiting farmer’s markets in summer!
Warm weather, being able to go for a walk without snow boots and gloves. I love LOVE going to the beach, watching the kids play, building sandcastles, reading.
What makes summer great for me? When the weather is nice but NOT TOO HOT (I hate the heat), when I have the extra money to be able to get the kids slurpees and dairy queen on nice days, when the kids get along and play nicely so we can get out to the park and play daily, having picnics with the kids, and being able to sleep in a little bit.
Being able to just throw on shorts and T and flip flops is something that I love about summer. Laying in my hammock reading, going to the beach with the kids. Eating watermelon and the juice is running down my chin..lol
What makes a summer ”all-good” to me is vacation, at home, to be able to relax, drink some sangria, meet up friends, things that you don’t feel stressed
No lunches to be made!!!!
SANDALS.
Summer puts all the other months to shame! Summer makes all those troubles and tribulations from the other season seem so “irrelevant and distant”. Summer is a Super Month and promotes Sunshine and Silliness!
spending time at the cottage and bbqing!
Wow – that was a Pinterest Board to make – thanks for the diversion!!
I love summer because there’s no snow to drive through lol. I wouldn’t know how to pin that one. =p
Going to the beach with the kids, camping out and just sitting on the deck with a cold beer makes summer all good for me!
Beaching, Camping, Ice cream and sand!
Great idea!! Summer makes me happy.
love your site and all the goodies thanks
Summer days at the beach!
Bare feet and cold drinks!
fresh hand picked strawberries!
I love swimming in the lake!
As long as we have our pool set up I’m happy lol
love to pick fresh fruits
love making fresh pies from fresh fruits
and love to eat asap and freeze them as well
Kids out of school – fun activities as a family.
I buy the cherry tomatoes at farmers market and they are pretty much eaten before I get to the car to leave. they are like candy to me.
Love all the fresh veggies and fruit that is available in summer
Farmers markets…love going and getting fresh produce, oh, and Ontario strawberries. It’s too bad they have such a short growing season, because there is nothing like them.
Just working away, and waiting for vacation in August. 🙂
Our raspberry bush in full production! Though hub eats more than make it in the basket
summer music festivals, farmer’s markets, sunsets, long bike rides & delicious local fresh fruits and veggies 🙂
Watermelon!
This year it will be welcoming our first child into our home and into our lives.
going to the beach
My favorite part of summer is no regularly scheduled children’s activities. Outside of a few camps, I don’t have to drive anyone anywhere at any specific time. Yay!
I love camping and swimming with the kiddies!
I love summer because I have more opportunities to be spontaneous…whether is be a picnic or a romantic getaway with some beautiful scenery.
I love everything about summer.
I love the longer days of summer and BBQ !
fresh fruits and veggies (not to mention my favourite ice cream/frozen yogurt parlour is open!)
I have two favourite things about summer. One – being out side and two – less laundry!
Summer BBQs are the best!
Just the getting out and spending time with fam and friends is the fun part. BBQ, swimming and icecream all makes it worth it:)
Having lots of sunny days and warm weather, not looking too good right now !
Rainy summer days make 40 degree heat bearable. But I LOVE fresh tomatoes and basil out of the garden. My son and I stand in the garden eating tomatoes. There is just something about them when they are sun warmed. Can’t wait to see this years crop-planted a blue one!
my favourite thing about summer is going camping with friends 🙂
Love your summer board and graphic. What makes summer “All Good” for me is being able to spend more time with friends and family. We also kick off summer with our annual Canada Day bbq and fireworks, this year we had 58 friends and family attend.
Thanks Tenille for letting me know about this contest and by the way loves your board i used it for my inspiration hope you don’t mind!
To me summer is all about flip flops. I hate wearing shoes and can’t wait for summer when I don’t have to wear socks, just my flip flops. Of course there are many other things I love about summer, such as the fresh veggies growing in my garden, long walks on warm summer evenings. I could go on and on. I love summer.
What makes summer for me? Being able to walk my chihuahua without having to bundle him up in sweaters and coats! LOL!! Also going to the beach for swimming fun.
Warm breezes, sunshine, and the waving fields of canola on the Manitoba prairies! Good luck to all! 🙂
What’s summer all about? BBq’s, friends and family. I find we all get together much more in the nice weather. Even when we go camping we end up with over a dozen people and there is just 3 of us here lol. I Love It!
What makes summer good for me is being able to go camping, campfires and bbq’s with friends
Everything about summer is good for me – hot weather, sunshine, beach, water….it’s all good.
Summer is about fun. I enjoy spending time with my kids and hubby doing fun stuff!
The whole works….I love summer
it’s all about relaxing time at the beach with my family
Sunshine, bbq, watermelon, popsicles and the beach. That’s what makes summer good for me.
Sitting in my Gazebo reading my book .. and laughing at the mosquitos that can’t get me! 🙂
Sunshine for sure (and with that, the longer days!)
what makes summer all good for me, is going to the beach, swimming, riding our bikes, playing tennis, just getting out there and lapping up the suns rays. 🙂
backyard bbq’s, bon fires and camping
summer to me is: BBQ’s, warm cement/dirt under my feet when the sun goes down, watermelon, friends at the lake, tanned toes, going without a sweater or socks!!!
Fresh garden tomatoes! It just isn’t summer without them
The beach, BBQs with the family, time for camping and quadding. That’s a normal summer for us! Maybe not so much this summer as I’ll be hitting my 3rd trimester of my pregnancy!! Probably… beach… Popsicles… beach…. anything cool!!!
Summer… love it !
Warmth and iced tea
Summer to me is the beach, running outside, cottages, and outdoor music festivals.
Best part of summer is eating gelato with the family on the beach
Summer to me is being outside – in the garden, at the beach, by the lake, on a patio.. just outside! The smell of a BBQ & lilacs.. Long walks.. festivals.. road trips… Ahhh!
Great weather.
Camping and fresh fruit and veggies!
for me its a fresh blackberry pie!
the scent of flowers and the sound of birds. Both are so beautiful.
summer is gardening. bbq and camping
I love the summer as long as it isn’t too hot…the last 2 days have been hot in Victoria…as long as the sun is shining…not really any complaints!
Crawfish Boils & swimming makes summer all-good to Me!
To me, summer is all about visited farmers’ markets.
The warm weather and tomatoes right off the vine make summer all good for me.
Sounds like a great contest! My favorite part of summer is helping out in my grandmother’s garden and then enjoying all of the fresh veggies in the fall!
Swimming 🙂
Definitely BBQs! We try to either do it ourselves (or get invited to one :P) every weekend during summertime.
Road trip/ baby moon 🙂 just started today and we are already feeling good!
Summer to me, is longer days of warmth and sunshine.
I love summer and the hotter it is the better for me. I remember our cold winters too well and love the heat while its here. I love sitting outside with my friends and working in the garden. Love the fruits we get in the summer also.
Gardening make summer “all good” for me. 🙂
For me summers are extra time with my grandsons as I get summers off from work.
To me summer is all about making memories with my 2 boys, camping and BBQ’s! 😀
as long as it is not hot I like summer – for the hiking and the fresh air throughout the house as all the windows are wide open
Summer is no jackets, no shoes, no schedule, no lonely nights. There is always company out stopping in for drinks on the deck and sharing stories and laughing . Summer is the lake and the beach anytime.
Hiking in the forest without snowshoes! 🙂
Tomatoes, real ones!
Glad I checked this out!! Looks so fun! Totally doing it next. I love you bloggers!! <3.
