Tips:

-- Border your Summer picture page with symbols of the season: beach ball, pinwheel, strawberries, watermelon slice, daisies, birds, nests, garden tools, rollerblades/skates, fireworks, ice cream or popsicle, baseball (bat 'n ball), hotdogs, sun, bike.

-- Document your favorite seasonal activities. Do you have any end-of-the-season traditions? Picture and journal how these developed. (ie last camping trip, end of summer festival. )
