Sunday Stealing

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the  blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the  most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the  expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also  have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from  and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more  relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to  select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive  from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior  featured meme.  Let's go!!!
This week's questions come from  Academic Cog and she wrote the questions herself because she hadn't seen a summer meme in a long time.

1.) What first tells you that Summer is here?  Humidity. 
2.) Name your five of your favorite distinctively Summer habits or customs.  Grilling most dinners, playing in the yard with the kids, keeping the doors and windows open, bonfires, and camping. 
3.) What is your favorite smell of Summer?  Charcoal on the grill.
4.) What is your favorite taste of Summer? Watermelon.
5.) Favorite Summer memory?  Two summers ago, while camping, my daughter and I went horseback riding through a bunch of trails and across the river.  She was 2 so she rode on the horse with me and she thought it was so cool!  :)
6.) Extreme heat or extreme cold? Which would you choose and why?  Ugh, neither!  I suppose extreme cold would be better because I get headaches when I get "overheated." 
7.) What books do you plan to read for the season?  I have a list of books I want to read.  Alex Cross, Run is at the top :) 
8.) What is your favorite part of summer?  Sitting on the deck with my husband in the evenings, watching the sky turn beautiful colors as the sun sets.
9.) What's your favorite quintessentially summer food? Least favorite?  Watermelon and avocados are best in the summer and hot dogs are the worst! 
10.) Best beverage to beat the summer heat:  Watermelon martini, if I'm in a drinking mood.  Otherwise it's just water.
11.) Least favorite/most annoying thing related to summer?  The humidity.  It feels like you can't breath and since I have naturally curly hair, it frizzes out and looks awful!
12.) Pick one: the lake /the beach.  The lake.
13.) Most amusing summer vacation trip you've ever taken?  Haven't really gone on vacation in the summer.  My husband thinks of camping as a vacation but I think it's just doing the same things I do at home only dirtier and in a much smaller space.
14.) Most ridiculous/cringe-inducing/blush-provoking summer outfit you have seen? (Bonus points if you yourself were wearing it!)  There are some ladies out there that wear bikini's when they really don't have the body for it.  I guess, though, that if they're confident and feel good wearing it, then that's a good thing.  I just feel like bikini's are meant more for skinnier body types.
15.) Your absolute dream summer afternoon would be spent by a pool, with a cold drink in hand and book to read.
16.) If you could go anywhere on summer vacation where would you go?  Some place where mosquitos don't exist!
