Summer 2026

Summer is coming soon and I am really excited for it! I cannot wait! Here are my favorite things to do in the summer. 

I like to go to the NJ shore for the summer. I was in Long Beach Island, NJ from July 25-August 1 2025. I was in LBI for a week. I was there with my mom, my dog Harley, my brother and his girlfriend, my sister and one of her friends. My sister's friend visited New Jersey from Massachusetts. She lives in the Boston area. 

We went to the beach, we went walking at Sunset Park, went out to dinner at the Black Whale and many more. We had an amazing time!

I sometimes like to go to outdoor concerts. I saw a Beatles tribute concert last year at the Florham Park Gazebo. It is in Florham Park, NJ, not that far from the Florham Park Library. I saw it with a friend of mine and we liked it very much. We liked all of the songs that the Beatles tribute band did.

Another thing I like to do is go swimming at pools. I like to go swimming at the Maplewood Country Club pool as well as the WarrenBrook pool. Me and my family have been longtime members of the Maplewood Country Club and we go to the pool in the summer. I have a friend of mine who is a member of the WarrenBrook pool. I have been swimming at both of these pools and I like them very much. They are amazing. 

I have been to the pool at the Chatham Fish and Game Club. My best friend is a member of the Chatham Fish and Game Club. She had her Sweet 16 in April 2008 and her 21st birthday in April 2013 at the Chatham Fish and Game Club.

I like to go to the Turtle Back Zoo during the summer as well. When I went there last year, It was really hot. It was a heatwave! When I went with my friends, we saw the animals, walked at the Zoo and went on the train ride. It was fun! 

The Flamingos at the Turtle Back Zoo are so beautiful
