Hot Summer Quotes

Fun time is here again as your kids dash out in bikinis, holding bucket and spade in hands, lapping on loads of sunblock lotion and running off in flip flops in a carefree manner.

Kids swimming in the rivers, beaches and swimming pools... Adults fishing, reading, and picnicking... And naturally, there'll be barbecue invitations too.

And what else come to mind as you think of summer? Oh, eating an ice-cream to cool down the heat when it gets too hot, getting out your lawn mower and once again mowing your lawn, and a treating your eyes to blooming flowers everywhere. Not forgetting tanned skin, squinting eyes and sweaty bodies.

There's no ignoring summer time! Summer is definitely a strong and commanding season, where it leaves many traces of its presence.

Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts! And have fun with these summer quotes!
