Whatever the case, have no fear; here are 8 ways to squeeze in some last minute summer fun before the fall.<\/p>\n

1) Make your own ice cream!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Squeezing<\/a><\/p>\n

Just because National Ice Cream Month is over, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t keep churning out delicious frozen treats with your Cuisinart ICE-30BC<\/a> ice cream maker. \u00a0There\u2019s nothing quite as satisfying as a rich creamy dollop of ice cream on a hot summer afternoon. We\u2019ve already shown you how to make your own ice cream<\/a>, so start experimenting with different flavors and ingredients, the types of frozen delectables you can create are limited only by your imagination.<\/p>\n

2) Hold a Barbecue!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Squeezing<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing like a rack of barbecue ribs, grilled corn and coleslaw to transform Sunday brunch into a summer feast. So fire up that grill<\/a> and take advantage of those blue skies while you still can\u2014with Fall right around the corner, there\u2019s no telling when you\u2019ll be able to bring the grill out for some barbecue.

3) Take a Beach Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unless you live on the coast, it\u2019s easy to forget to make time to capitalize on that warm weather and spend a day out on the beach. Take some time off from your usual routine to spend the day at the beach. Work on your tan, play some volleyball, or pick up a new watersport. Whether you are surfing, wakeboarding, paddle boarding, or scuba diving it\u2019s easiest to learn while the water is still warm.<\/p>\n

4) Head to the Farmers Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Take advantage of the bounties of the sun by stocking up on some fresh produce at your local farmers market. Even if you live in the city, it\u2019s worth a drive into the countryside if it means you can restock your fridge with fresh summer squash, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers and other fruits and vegetables. Food always tastes better with fresh all-natural ingredients.<\/p>\n

5) Have a Picnic in the Park!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Making the most of the remainder of your summer vacation doesn\u2019t have to involve big trips abroad or going on new adventures. Sometimes it\u2019s as simple as setting up a picnic blanket on freshly cut grass at your local park for Sunday brunch. Bring a frisbee or a football for some fun under the sun. Simply being outdoors and active under the sun\u2019s rays is what summertime is all about.<\/p>\n

6) Enjoy an Outdoor Movie Night<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Got a movie in mind that\u2019s recently been released on Blu Ray or DVD? Instead of adding it to your nightly \u00a0binge watching queue, why not use it as an excuse to bring all your friends and family together for some fun outdoors. \u00a0If you\u2019ve got a lawn, a projector, and an outdoor screen\u2014put your backyard to use by hosting an epic outdoor movie night<\/a>. If you\u2019re missing any of the ingredients for turning your backyard into a movie venue, we here at BuyDig have got you covered.<\/p>\n

7) Check out the County Fair<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cotton candy, carnival games, and fried dough\u2014a trip to the county fair could be just what you need to make the most of your remaining summer. Romantic rides on ferris wheels, oversized stuffed animal prizes, deep fried Twinkies, bacon wrapped turkey legs, and vintage home brewed root beer, are just some of the things you may encounter at a county fair. Indulge in some last minute fun and fried food at your local county fair.<\/p>\n

8) Explore the Great Outdoors!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like spending a cool summer night roasting marshmallows over a campfire, singing songs, and making s\u2019mores. The warm weather is perfect for spending your weekend outdoors. Go on a camping trip at a nearby mountain or spend your last summer days fishing at a lakeside cabin. Even if you can\u2019t take an entire weekend, a Saturday morning hike could be enough of an adventure to recharge your mind and body and take advantage of that sunshine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
