Eeerrrmagerrrd, HEAT!
Now that you've established how excited I am about this sunderful weather, let's dive into the many ways you can enjoy and maximize your outdoor time (now that the snow's gone).
- No more jackets! Bring out the shorts, capris, dresses, sandals, tshirts, and lack thereof!
- Take your fancy whip for a spin - sunroof open or hood down of course.
- Gardening. Get your herb/tomato/pumpkin patch growing. Nothing beats organic!
- Enjoy the outdoors by taking a hike in your favourite spot, or driving to the mountains to enjoy some of those gorgeous cyan-coloured lakes.
- The fishing ops in Airdrie are bountiful. Try Nose Creek or the Canals, Wildlife Alberta populates them every year.
- Soak up the sun in your backyard or park. Lay down a blanket, listen to music, tan, or read a book. It feels great to unplug!
- Outdoor exercise - go jogging around your neighbourhood, do outdoor yoga, do some chin-ups on the monkey bars, or play a round of soccer with your buds in one of Airdrie's many game fields.
- PATIO. Just spend your entire summer on your patio. Eating BBQ, drinking yummy summer drinks, having a party, the list is endless.
- Splash parks are about to open! Enough said.
- Have a bonfire. Bonfires make for great conversation, spontaneous guitar sing-alongs, and plenty of s'mores for eating.
- Using your swimming pool, DUH! If you have a swimming pool of your own, a) I'm jealous and b) there's nothing more refreshing than diving in on a hot day.
- Dye your hair (on a budget + au natural). Every heard of washing your hair in lemon juice and then hanging out in the sun for a couple hours? Apparently it lightens your hair colour. Experiment at your own risk.
- Go rafting on the Bow River with friends!
- Camping season is just around the corner. A great way to getaway from the stress of everyday life.
- Eat all the ice cream you can. Because ice cream's no fun in the winter.
- Golf.
- Garage sale season is up in full swing again. Declutter and make some money.
- The return of farmers markets and food trucks. Two things that are popular in Airdrie, because the way to your heart is always through your stomach.
- Nap in a hammock. Is there anything more relaxing?
- Just spend your time outside because this is what you've been looking forward to in our -40°C winters.
