My favourite summer treat I can only get in my hometown... thank god it's limited otherwise I'd be there everyday. There is this wonderful little shack that is only open from May until October that serves THE BEST soft ice cream ever... and I like mine in a cone, dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. Oh YUM!

My favorite summer time treat is cut up watermelon and csntaloupe. I know I can get it in the winter, but it tastes so much better in the summer, especially if I can get some locally grown fruit!

Stephanie Hargis said...

Felicia said...

My favorite summer treat is to be able to take my kids to do fun things during the summer like swimming, bowling, going on 1 day trips, to the zoo. It's fun to not have a "schedule" like during the school year. Also being able to go to sleep late and waking up late. Or even stayin in pj's half the day! :)

Maria said...

Since I live where it is very hot, I love a big glass of cold, fresh squeezed lemonade! YUM

Julie Hunt said...

Annabelle said...

My favorite summer treat is a big chocolate filled sundae, hot fudge, sprinkles, marshmallos and lots of ice cream, i just love chocolate, can u tell.

Jen D. said...

My favorite summer treat this summer has been indulging in summer novels. I rarely have the opportunity to read books for fun during the school year (I am a teacher and I have two little kids) I am treating myself to some great summer reads this summer, like the Twilight series. :) If I have to choose a food I guess strawberries with and without chocolate would be my first choice. Looking forward to the new release.

cpullum said...

My favorite summer treat is spending time with my family! We take the summer to go to the amusment parks and the park! I also enjoy sending them to camp the love camp! Then my summer treat while they are at camp is reading a good book.

JessicaK said...

Favorite summer treat? Got to be ice cream. I looove mint chocolate chip ice cream, so an MCC-based sundae or milkshake is always a treat. Or, even indulging in the new Starbucks Mint Chip Frappucino. Mmmmm.

Ellie said...

HMM summer treat.. Well I think it has to be my MIL's fruit surprise.. Its an "adult" refreshing treat as it has a mix liquors in it and is chilled and blended so it ends up being more like a slushy fruit snack.. its sooo good.. HMMM my mouth is watering just thinking about it... :)

-Ellie

lisa808 said...

Fresh, plump, juicy plums & cherries.

Brandy said...

Hi Katie! Definitely Sonic Diet Cranberry Limeade...the best!

Alisa said...

My favorite summer treat has got to be swimming at the outdoor pool with my kids. It brings back so many memories from my own childhood and it is luxury for us since most of the year it is too cold here to swim outside. There is just something about the suntan lotion smell and doing canon balls off the high dive....just can't match that kind of fun. Thanks for the candy.

{autie} said...

Hey Katie!

What a pretty card! My favorite summertime treat is fresh strawberry pie! I love strawberries, so any way they are served is OK with me.

heidibye3 said...

My very favorite summer treat is a s'more (and not the kind you make in the microwave). I love roasting marshmallows over the fire and then putting them between the graham crackers with 3 squares of Hershey bar on top of the hot marshmallows to get the chocolate all melty. Yummy!

Charlene H. said...

My favorite summertime treat is making popsicles from fruit juices. I buy different kinds of juice and make tons of popsicles. Then I can't get mad at the kids for eating too many! They taste way better than kool-aid ones.
