1. 104 Days of Summer Vacation

Melissa marked a calendar with red pen. "The reason we have 104 days for our summer vacation is because the mayor of Danville signed an ordinance to increase it after pressure from student activists. The rest of the Tri-State Area followed suit."

"That doesn't explain how there's over 150 inventions all dated to last summer on BiggestP&Ffan's blog," Zack showed Melissa pictures of a beach, circus, and several rollercoasters.

"That rollercoaster crushed my dreams! And they rebuilt it as a musical without regard for science projects?"

"Forget that. How could a bust possibly cause a dystopian future?"

2. Ice Cream Cones and Cherry Soda

"Ice cream eating contest! One, two, three, go!" Milo promptly took a large bite out of his pistachio ice cream, and collapsed to the floor clutching his head in agony. "Brain… freeze…." he moaned.

"If my opponent gets a brain freeze, do I win by default?" Zack asked, drizzling strawberry syrup on his banana sundae.

Melissa shrugged, taking a sip of her cherry soda. "It's probably in the FAQ somewhere for official ice cream eating competitions." Red liquid dripped down her chin.

"You look like a vampire now," Zack smirked.

"Hand over that syrup and I could make it more convincing."

"Five bucks says you could convince Milo."

"I never lose, Underwood."

3. Summer of Possibilities

Fun in the sun cut off by a freak thunderstorm? No problem! Always carry around lightning and waterproof ponchos!

Families flying kites being chased by an angry flock of waterfowl? Grab all the bread you can carry and create a crumb trail to the lake to divert their attention!

A nice, relaxing hike in the mountains takes an unexpected turn when a giant boulder is rolling down at high speed towards you? Dive inside that nearby hole and discover an abandoned mine!

More possibilities open up in summer when you're no longer confined to a schedule! And it's up to us to exploit those opportunities!
