My most favorite outdoor activity during the summer is playing beach volleyball. I love volleyball, but since I have a full-time school and full-time work, I don’t get to do it much. So during the summer, I love to run to the beach any chance I have.

thank you for another fabulous giveaway.

During the summer around here, where it gets up into the 90’s, anything water related is a favorite outdoor activity! Beaches, lakes, swimming pools, it’s all good!

I love the amore pacific peel I got from sephora – large sample size and would love to try some of their other stuff.

My favorite activity during the summer is spending time with my daughter. She is eight years old and its a fun age. We go to the movies, the park, we have an out door mall here which is great during sunny days. We are less then an hour away from Hershey Park which we both love. During the day, if we get bored, we go to this coffee shop. I sit and enjoy a coffee while she gets milk or juice. Its a fun way to break up the day and get out an do something.

I think my absolute favourite has to be swimming – the feeling of being carefree, engulfed and just floating. Closely followed by barbecuing in parks with friends.

Diane Avatar

My favorite outdoor activity during the summer has to be grilling with the family. Everyone participates in the meal and it really feels like together time and the warm weather is heaven on earth.

Sheila Avatar

I just to just walk around on the beach and enjoy the sunlight! I’m from Vancouver so sunlight is quite rare in the fall/winter and sometimes even Spring. Vancouver summer is very beautiful as well, so just walking around aimlessly is fun =)

My favorite outdoor activity is to take my dog out on this trail near my apartment. I just got a new puppy and he’s up to date on his shots now, meaning I can take him out near other dogs! He loves this trail because there’s a beach next to the one side, it’s huge and there’s other dogs to play with. I love it because he loves it!

I’m not an active kind of person per se, but in the summer my friends and I like to put a blanket out on the lawn and read magazines and tan. Honestly I think it’s way more fun than any kind of sport!

Isabelle Avatar

Kelly Avatar

During the summer I love taking my kids to the beach. Seeing how much joy they get out of playing in the sand and water puts a smile on my face.

Amanda Avatar

AHH this contest came just in time. I just posted a question as to which moisutizers and such I should use for oily skin and this is just in time for summer when my skin is at it’s worst!
Well, I’m not too athletic so in the summer when I’m out and about in the sun I’m usually spending time with my family as well as my boyfriends family at different events! We LOVE to party haha so this would keep me looking great all day. Thanks for all the great contests. Good luck to everyone!

For outdoor in the summers I love anything where I can enjoy the company of friends. So I love walking to the park or lake with someone or having barbecues/outdoor dinner parties. Making trips on a sunny day to get smoothies. Good times.

Stacey Avatar

Riding bikes barefoot after being in the water. The breeze cools the water and it’s SO refreshing. :]

+ playing in parks at night!

nicci Avatar

beach volleyball! 🙂 I played volleyball in high school and had so much fun but playing out in the beach with the warm sand inbetween your toes feels good!

Definetly swimming. I’m like a fish in the summertime. I can’t wait to get to the beach, and when I do, I’m in the ocean all day!

Erin K Avatar

CAMPING! Hands down! You can hang with your girlfriends and be scrubs together! Its so much fun just to not stress over anything and hang with your besties!

Annette Avatar

My favorite summer activity is playing with my friend’s son (he is almost 4). No two days are ever the same, and children are amused, sometimes, with the simplest things. I always have fun with him, and he teaches me a lot about enjoying life!

Casey Avatar

My favorite thing to do is go to my favorite beach hotel and hang out by the pool. They have a tiki bar with the best drinks! It’s a perfect way to get a tan and a buzz…haha

Kim Avatar

Traveling is my favorite summer activity. Being in school, summer is the perfect opprotuntiy to take advantage of traveling while I still can. Graduation is right around the corner and when “real life” starts, traveling wont be as easy.

I would like to say something sporty, but I think it’s gonna have to be going to Napa Valley and sipping on wine while enjoying the beautiful sunshine and scenery!

My favorite thing is grilling out and then sitting outside to eat with my family or friends. Then when it starts to get cold, get some blankets and still hang out outside and light the chiminea. I love summer!

Miss Silver Avatar

I enjoy gardening. 🙂 I plant pumpkins, scallopinis, zucchinis, kale, chard, and various herbs.

I’m not eligible to win since I’m overseas. But I’d just share my interests.

Karli Avatar

I hate the outdoors. I really do. Especially in summer, haha.
But I’d say that the best part about summer is taking my puppy outside to play. She’s so cute when she runs around the yard and chases all the kids walking by.

Melodyy Avatar

I love hiking. I live in the hills and it’s really nice to take a hike because there are also a lot of trees so it’s shaded and makes you feel soo good !

AmyVA Avatar

Hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Especially in areas near our local wine trail so we can get some wine tasting in too! Perfect summer day…

I love to just take walks in the summer and read in the shade. Boring, I know but sometimes I just need to feel the sun on my body (with sunscreen of course!) and relax. Picnics are fun too!

Diana Avatar

Mary Ann Avatar

I would have to say running! I hate running indoors during the winter seasons…kind of boring looking at 4 walls as you exercise haha

Cathy Avatar

I love hiking in the summer! It feels good to go for a long hike and work up a good sweat..plus the beautiful scenery helps distract you from the fact that it’s actually a workout, lol.

Danielle Avatar

My absolute favorite outdoor activity would have to be hiking. I love the wilderness and what wonderful things it has to offer.

Elissa Avatar

Definitely swimming! I live in AZ where it’s like a million degrees in the summer so there really isn’t anything else I want to do outside!

vnssa906 Avatar

my favorite outdoor activity would have to be PAINTBALL! I love when it gets warm enough that I can go play without a million layers on… my boyfriend has an awesome nationally recognized paintball team that goes by the Highland Skulls.. and once in a while, all the wives/girlfriends team up to play against them 🙂

Christy Ordonez Avatar

I wish I was more exciting. Walking in a big, vibrant city brings me the most happiness. Zip-lining, though, if I can find it, is the most fun.

Mags Avatar

It’s so difficult to pin down ONE activity, but honestly, I just LOVE spending time outside in the summertime. My city is in its prime during the summer months – the sun’s always shining, and we’re right by the water and forest and mountains! I love to take walks on the seawall and hike to the top of the Grouse Grind or the Chief and see the view from all the mountains.

Brielle Avatar

I love to have a barbeque by the pool! I gather about 10-15 of my closest friends and we swim, and barbeque and when the sun sets, we go on the beach and make smores around a bonfire! My fave part of summer!

Lisa Lemus Avatar

My favorite outdoor activity is going for a bike ride on the trail during the afternoon when it is still a little hot but breezy.

Courtney Avatar

My favorite outdoor summer activity is walking around at night. No blazing hot sun, but it’s warm and comfortable out. I would hike, but I live in a concrete jungle.

isatys09 Avatar

Free diving. My husband is a pro so during the summer vacations, I get to go to free diving and spearfishing in beautiful places. Lucky me 😉

gingergirl Avatar

I loooove to go camping and everything else that goes along with it. There is nothing like waking up to a beautiful sunrise on a lake.

linda Avatar

my favorite outdoor activity is floating on a raft down the river! There no better way to cool down in the hot summer weather!

ezzie Avatar

i loveeee going to amusement parks, and jumping on the trampoline with the sprinklers underneath! 😀
i love outdoor activities, so i can’t live without my sunscreen! 😛
oh, and ofcourse, i like eating all the popsicles i can in the summer ^-^

Kelly Avatar

I love hanging out by the pool with family and friends while someone there is doing the bar-b-q and listening to the music..Also if I’m at the beach, I love to literally just sit down and watch the guys surfing and all the little kids running around..

Rachel Avatar

Nothing beats laying by the pool with friends on a hot summer day (with like SPF 100 of course layered on every 2 hours 🙂 )

Bernice Lopez Avatar

My favorite activity during the summer is to go to the park and to take a nap under a tree. Your falling asleep and you can feel the nice cold breeze and hear the little birds singing. Its not really an activity because I’m just laying there, but I think its the best thing to do during the summer.

Angie Avatar

I like swimming the most, its great exercise and you don’t really feel like you are working out because its fun. In a pool or at the beach it doesn’t matter! 😀

sophiecnc Avatar

Swimming in the ocean, tanning, eating seafood by the beach, watching the sunset at the beach. I loooooove summer with a passion!

Danielle Avatar

Marching Band rehearsals!!! No, seriously. Huge band geek here! So I need all the AMOREPACIFIC products I can get. 😀

Jessica Avatar

With the family we always go swimming in the ocean and weekly bbqs. Travelling is just for me and the hubby, we enjoy being out all day!

Ada Avatar

I love to just walk outside. I could spend the whole day outside walking in the city, in my neighborhood (suburbs!) or just anywhere.

Teresa Lew Avatar

My favorite thing to do is go run out in the beach or on the trails. It just looks so beautiful out which boosts my mood as I’m doing my favorite activity!

Stephanie Avatar

Well if I had a pool or a beach to go to it would definitely be laying in the sun and being in the water. But since I don’t have either it would be camping, canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, sitting by a fire at night.

Ashley Avatar

I just recently moved to the city so I totally miss all my summer activities back home in Central PA. One of my top favorites is going to a friends river lot and jet skiing/boat riding. I love the river, it’s so peaceful because it’s surrounded by trees, I could spend all summer there!

Sara Avatar

I absolutely love riding in a boat on whatever kind of water I can get! It’s so much fun to just put around or go fast. Now if only I could have my very own boat and beach house…

KIM Avatar

my favorite outdoor activity has to be rafting… the reason is that while the water is calim i could relax and get a tan, when the drop comes i get the excitment… so a little bit of both.

Grace Avatar

My favorite summer outdoor activity is to pack a picnic meal and head to the Hollywood Bowl with friends for some great music, food and fireworks!

Letitia Avatar

My favorite outdoor activity (besides shopping in open malls) is going to outdoor concerts with friends, or watching movies in the park. In Atlanta, they have Screen on the Green, and it is great!

Christin Avatar

My favorite activity in the summer is white water rafting, which i do not get to do a lot… or just lounging by the pool 🙂

Hannah Avatar

There are TONS of outdoor activities that I enjoy. Since I was about 10 years old I’ve been playing tennis non-stop, taking lessons all the time, on my school varsity teams. 🙂 I truly had such an amazing experience with the game of tennis. Then, recently in the last year and a half when I moved to California I discovered my new found joy – HIKING! I loooove to hike! It’s especially so good for someone like me who dreads cardio, lol! It’s such a great workout – for your heart, butt, legs, calves, everything! Plus, it’s a great way too meet cuties on the hiking trails! 🙂

nicole Avatar

mine, would totally be waiting till the sun goes down just a little bit and going outside for a sunset swim or even just a walk. having picnics as the sun goes down is a good way to reap the gorgeous sunset and as it gets a little bit cooler during the sunset, its not too hot, so it feels refreshing. ahhhh, feels gooodd.

Beth Avatar

I am allways playing some kind of ball with my son. It may be dodge ball, soccer and/or now baseball. I feel like I am getting the best exercise ever, by playing with him everynite. I can’t wait till we will open the pool, come this Memorial Day weekend!

Fweenix Avatar

My favorite outdoors summer activity is playing Nintendo DS… outdoors

In all seriousness though, swimming is probably my favorite “real” outdoors summer activity.
