What are your summer plans?

My plans for summer this year are to work, play soccer, camp once or twice, visit family, and celebrate my birthday.
I am looking to get a job that will help me pay for my next semester at Butte College. So far my father-in-law offered me a job assisting my wife in a distribution business that they are working side-by-side. The job duties include taking orders from customers nation wide, going to the shipping area, and sending out products related to price marking. The other job I was considering was construction. I have experience in construction, which entails concrete work, carpentry, and painting. Construction will allow me to work outdoors, but the heat may become an issue in the summer. After weighing out my options I think I will take my father-in-law up on the job offer. This will get me involved with a family business that is small but profitable and will allow me to spend time with my wonderful wife, Casey.
The second plan that I have for summer is playing soccer. Since I have lived in Chico, I have not had the privilege to spend a full summer here. I have always been away in the mountains where the temperature is fifteen to twenty degrees cooler. I enjoy playing soccer, but my main focus will be staying hydrated, for me this will be the key in order to survive a season of summertime soccer.
Another plan that I have for summer is to go camping with some old high school and childhood friends. I am looking forward to this, because I have rarely seen my friends since I moved into the Chico area. I am from Santa Rosa, so Chico is not very far away, but at times it becomes difficult to visit friends. We are going to Lake Mendocino for the first weekend in June. There will be fishing, boating, sports, and relaxing. This is my idea of a relaxing weekend.
The final event that I am looking forward to is seeing my family and having my birthday in the middle of July. During the month of July, my family puts on a huge reunion that includes a band, food, drinks and fun for all ages.
