Top 10 Movies that *Feel* Like Summer

(I only included films that I have seen or personally feel capture that summer feeling).

Stand By Me

The boys spend their summer day going on an adventure. Along the way, they connect on a deeper level. Sure, they’re on the hunt for a body, but it’s the perfect encapsulation of childhood and those summer memories with your friends. The Oregon backdrop really creates the mood; with beautiful mountain scapes, lots of sunshine, woodland areas and swamps, etc. It’s also a beautifully written (and even more beautifully acted) film. When I think of summer as a young teen, I think of this film.

2. Friday The 13th / Sleepaway Camp (You could also put Fear Street Part 2 here as well)

I’m putting these two together since they are virtually the same thing. Both films take place at a summer camp. And of course, involve good, wholesome Slasher fun! They have beautiful lakeside views, summer camp activities, the whole shebang! We’ve all (or most of us) been to summer camp. So I think there’s something to relate to in these films, and admire. So what if a few teenagers get their comeuppance in the process.

3. American Pie 2

The central plot of this film is a huge blowout party by the beach. The gang orchestrates a big bash to close out summer. It’s Stiffler and the gang, so of course chaos ensues. This one’s a lot of laughs!

4. The Sandlot

I really see this one and Stand By Me as sort of the same kind of thing. Both even share a scene where the kids have to escape a guard dog. But at their core, both are the epitome of hanging with your friends and getting into all sorts of fun during summer break. This one is just set in the summer of 1962, and with a baseball backdrop.

5. Jaws

This one literally happens around the 4th of July weekend. It’s at the beach and is filled with holiday festivities. It’s about as summer a movie as it can get! Oh, and it has sharks, so that’s cool!

6. Grease

“Summer lovin had me a blast”. It’s right there in the song. Danny and Sandy meet on the beach and fall in love. Neither realize that they’ll end up at the same school. The movie comes full circle when it ends at the end of the school year and it’s summer again. To cap things off, there’s a big carnival with all the summer vibes!

7. The Parent Trap

Another summer camp movie. Gosh, there’s so many. But this is a nice family-friendly one. Twins Hallie and Annie are both sent to the same summer camp, where they discover that they were separated at birth. Of course, there's the usual summer camp stuff in this one. But there’s also some great scenes later on where the whole family goes on a camping trip, and the twins totally torture their soon to be stepmom with pranks. It’s hilarious and worth the watch for that alone!

8. National Lampoon’s Vacation

This one is a bit of nostalgia from the days of going on family vacations during the summer. The Griswold’s take a cross-country road trip to Walley World, a California amusement park. In true Griswold family fashion, they run into a lot of mishaps along the way. These are so entertaining! This film is complete with stopping at a campground for the night, skinny dipping, a visit to the Grand Canyon, and eventually making it to the amusement park. Which is quite the misadventure in and of itself.

9. Dirty Dancing

It’s the summer of 1963, and Baby is vacationing at an upscale resort with her family. She falls in love with dance instructor Johnny Castle. Throughout the film we see the two of them grow closer together as he teaches her a routine for the upcoming end of summer shindig. This one isn't as summer filled as some of the others on this list, but it definitely takes place during that time and has great lakeside views as well,

10. I Know What You Did Last Summer

Summer is literally in the name. This is another one that takes place on (and around) July 4th. On July 4, 1996, Julie James and her friends take a drive to the beach. They hit someone on the drive and dump the body to cover it up. Fast forward a year later, Julie is back from college for the summer when she and her friends begin receiving letters saying, "I know what you did last summer!" From there, someone in a rain slicker and a hook for a hand starts stalking and killing the characters off one by one. An integral part of this film is the 4th of July celebrations in the town. A Parade. A pageant. The seaside scapes! This (and Jaws) are July 4th MUST WATCHES for me every year!

A Day at the Pumpkin Patch

Last week, Canyon Creek Guest Ranch opened its October pumpkin patch! There’s no better way to celebrate the joys of autumn than to be outside, appreciating the harvest and all that the land gives to us.

Admission to the ranch is free, so that everyone who wants to can enjoy it. You only pay for what you pick, eat, or take home as a souvenir.

Grannie has been putting up signs along the roadsides directing visitors to the ranch. Will your doll stop by?

Grannie, her daughter Kendra, and Kendra’s five daughters Jillian, Sierra, Leanne, Willa, and Evelyn have been planning this for two years, since the last time they hosted a pumpkin patch. That occasion wasn’t nearly as big and full of activities as it is this year!

Although the children loved helping the pumpkins grow and counting down the days until the patch opened, there is so much to do here besides visiting the fields.....

.... But that’s definitely a good place to start!

Leanne drives the old-fashioned wooden horse-drawn wagon (a family heirloom) that takes visitors to the pumpkin patch.

It’s not too far away to walk, but if you’re carrying a lot of pumpkins, it’s much easier to hop in the wagon with them and catch a ride back to have them weighed and priced.

If you do want to walk, like Katie and Ashlyn did, you can borrow one of the little red wagons parked at the edge of the field.

Katie imagines what it would be like if she had to roll her pumpkin out of the patch--it would take hours! She has her heart set on this big one.

Tally also fell in love with a big pumpkin.

Cara hasn’t decided yet which one is her favorite.

She loves the strange appearance of this big one, but that would take a long time to carve.

Maybe she’ll try a smaller one?

This one is perfect!

Ellen and her little sisters Kendall and Frida picked so many, that the wagon is almost too heavy to pull! Ellen hasn’t noticed yet that Frida got in the wagon and is making it a little heavier.

The pumpkin patch is only the first stop on the hayride. It will also transport you to the apple orchards to pick apples off the trees.

Mari, Emerson, and Geraldine are stopping for apples first before getting their pumpkins.

Iris is already at the orchard, filling her bucket with Granny Smith apples.

She tries one right off the tree.

It tastes like sunshine, rain, and woodsmoke.

She can’t bear to take home only a few...... she needs a bigger bucket!

Fernanda has her crate full of beautiful Gala and Golden Delicious apples.

When you’re done picking pumpkins or apples, you can hop back onto the wagon and let it take you back to the ranch, where you’re sure to find something else fun to do!

You can stop by the snack bar, where Layla is offering lots of homemade goodies: kettle corn, caramel apples, fresh cider, and apple cider donuts.

Kendall got a caramel apple.

There are also lots of yummy things to take home with you. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, green chile tamales, or fresh produce grown right there on the ranch.

Jane takes her donut into the corn maze, so that if she gets lost at least she won’t be hungry.

Kendra is overseeing the roasting station.

She’s roasting red chiles, corn on the cob, and piñon nuts in a traditional adobe oven called a horno (pronounced OR-no).

Nearby, Mosi is checking out the petting zoo, with its many friendly baby animals. All of them are adoptable from several local animal rescues!

You can get your picture taken at this photo stand-in as a souvenir!

Or get a souvenir photo posing with some pumpkins.

What grand finale could possibly make this day at the pumpkin patch even better?

Naturally...

A performance by the Dusty Mountain Dollies! They’re only the best all-girl bluegrass band in town, AND they’re always happy to perform for special events!

Uranium is being mined near the Grand Canyon as prices soar and the US pushes for more nuclear power (AP) The largest uranium producer in the United States is ramping up work just south of Grand Canyon National Park on a long-contested project that largely has sat dormant since the 1980s. The work is unfolding as global instability and growing demand drive uranium prices higher. The Biden administration and dozens of other countries have pledged to triple the capacity of nuclear power worldwide in their battle against climate change, ensuring uranium will remain a key commodity for decades as the government offers incentives for developing the next generation of nuclear reactors and new policies take aim at Russia’s influence over the supply chain.

Questions are mounting over whether ‘unprecedented’ U.S.-Israel intel sharing is contributing to civilian deaths in Gaza. (WSJ) A secret memorandum that expanded U.S. intelligence sharing with Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack has sparked concerns in Washington, according to people familiar with the issue. Among the worries is that there is little independent oversight to confirm that U.S.-supplied intelligence isn’t used in strikes that unnecessarily kill civilians or damage infrastructure. The intelligence-sharing agreement has received less public scrutiny than U.S. weapons sales to Israel. But it is prompting increasing questions from Democratic lawmakers and human-rights groups, even as alarm mounts within the Biden administration over Israel’s war conduct.

A Rio councilwoman’s killing was a mystery. Corruption kept it unsolved (AP) Two days after Rio de Janeiro city councilwoman Marielle Franco’s 2018 assassination, her widow sat down with the chief of the state’s civil police, Rivaldo Barbosa, who pledged to do everything in his power to hold the guilty parties to account. In fact, the man Veja magazine once exalted as “Rio’s Sherlock” had the exact opposite intent, according to newly revealed allegations. Federal Police arrested Barbosa on March 24—over six years later—for allegedly helping orchestrate Franco’s killing and taking money to obstruct the very investigation he would oversee. The explosive revelations in the nearly 500-page Federal Police report offer an unprecedented glimpse into how organized crime has undermined Rio’s institutions and reveal the extent of corruption in a city where militias allegedly pay police to look away.

What Happened When This Italian Province Invested in Babies (NYT) Full houses have increasingly become history in Italy, which has one of the lowest birthrates in Europe and where Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, as well as Pope Francis, have warned that Italians are in danger of disappearing. But the Alto Adige-South Tyrol area and its capital, Bolzano, more than any other part of the country, bucked the trend and emerged as a parallel procreation universe for Italy, with its birthrate holding steady over decades. The reason, experts say, is that the provincial government has over time developed a thick network of family-friendly benefits, going far beyond the one-off bonuses for babies that the national government offers. Parents enjoy discounted nursery schools, baby products, groceries, health care, energy bills, transportation, after-school activities and summer camps. The province supplements national allocations for children with hundreds of euros more per child and vaunts child-care programs, including one that certifies educators to turn their apartments into small nurseries. All of that, experts say, helps free up women to work, which is vital for the economy. As in France and some Scandinavian countries, it also shows that a policy of offering affordable day-care services has the power to steer Italy from the impending demographic cliff as the birthrate falls.

Passport checks for air travellers lifted as Bulgaria and Romania join EU’s Schengen (Reuters) Airports in Sofia and Bucharest on Sunday removed passport check points for those departing to or arriving from most European Union member states as Bulgaria and Romania partially joined the Schengen open-travel zone. The two countries reached an agreement late last year to join Europe’s free-travel area by air and sea after Austria opposed full membership, including land crossings, saying Romania and Bulgaria needed to do more to prevent illegal immigration. The Interior minister in the outgoing government, Kalin Stoyanov, told journalists on Sunday that Bulgaria should become a full member of the Schengen zone by the end of this year, meaning border check points will be removed for people and goods travelling by road and by rail.

2 dead as Russia launches attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure (AP) A Russian cruise missile strike on infrastructure in Ukraine’s western Lviv region killed one man, while another died in an attack in the northeast, officials said Sunday. Hundreds of thousands in Ukraine’s Odesa region were left without power Sunday after debris from a downed Russian drone caused a blaze at an energy facility, Gov. Oleh Kiper said. Some 170,000 homes suffered power outages as a result of the attack.

Istanbul Mayor Headed for Re-election, in Blow to Erdogan’s Party (NYT) The mayor of Istanbul was headed for a stinging re-election victory against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling party early Monday, beating back a broad campaign by the president and his government and keeping Turkey’s largest city and economic powerhouse in opposition hands. The strong showing by Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu put him on track for his third win against Mr. Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party, solidifying his status as a star in the political opposition. Many Turks see Mr. Imamoglu as a potential contender for the presidency. The opposition was also on the verge of significant gains in other local elections across Turkey. Preliminary vote counts on Monday kept it in power in four of the country’s largest cities—Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Antalya—and gave it control of a fifth, Bursa, and a number of smaller cities.

Cambodia: Hundreds of Indians rescued from cyber-scam factories (BBC) The Indian government has so far rescued 250 citizens in Cambodia who were forced to run online scams. They were promised jobs but "forced to undertake illegal cyber work", India's foreign ministry said. Recent reports have said more than 5,000 Indians stuck in Cambodia were forced to operate cyber-fraud schemes. Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world are estimated to have fallen prey to human traffickers running job scams in South East Asia. Victims, mostly young and tech-savvy, are promised jobs and then lured into illegal online work ranging from money laundering and crypto fraud to so-called love scams, where they pose as lovers online.

Protests Against Netanyahu Intensify as Cease-Fire Talks Resume (NYT) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced growing challenges to power on Sunday as thousands gathered outside Parliament to call for early elections in what were shaping up to be one of the largest demonstrations against the government in Israel since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip. Some protesters carried signs calling for Mr. Netanyahu’s “immediate removal.” Others wielded posters calling for elections, saying “those who destroyed can’t be the ones to fix.” The protest came a day after thousands took to the streets of Tel Aviv, waving flags and carrying pictures of the Israeli hostages with signs reading “Hostage deal now.” Elad Dreifuss, a 25-year-old university student demonstrating in Jerusalem on Sunday, said that protesting against the government at a time of war was a difficult decision, but that “if the government can’t live up to its responsibility, something has to change.”

Israeli troops leave Gaza’s Shifa Hospital a wreck in sea of rubble (Reuters/BBC) Israeli forces have withdrawn from Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City after a two-week operation, the Israeli military said on Monday, leaving behind a wasteland of destroyed buildings and Palestinian bodies scattered in the dirt of the complex. The Israeli military said it had killed and detained hundreds of gunmen in clashes in the area of the hospital, and seized weaponry and intelligence documents. Hamas and medical staff deny that Palestinian fighters have any armed presence in hospitals. A spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Emergency Service said Israeli forces had executed two people whose bodies were found at the complex in handcuffs, and used bulldozers to dig up the grounds of the complex and exhume buried bodies. Footage circulated on social media and not yet verified by Reuters showed the bodies of dead Palestinians, some covered in dirty blankets, scattered on the ground around the charred hulk of the hospital building, many of whose outer walls were missing. Meanwhile, an Israeli air strike hit a courtyard in al-Aqsa hospital, killing four people and injuring 17 others, including journalists.

Palestinian Christians (Religion News Service) Palestinian Christians, a community that dates back to Jesus’ time, have long lived under the threat of extinction. This Easter, however, we bear witness to horrors never imagined. The church in the Holy Land, along with thousands of years of Palestinian culture and heritage, is disintegrating before our eyes. A pastor in Bethlehem and founder of Dar al-Kalima University, the first and only Palestinian university with a focus on arts, culture and design, I have invested my life in my community, which has played an outsize role both in Palestinian culture and on the global stage. Palestinian Christians founded 40% of the aid organizations and other NGOs in the occupied territories. Our schools, hospitals and advocacy organizations serve all Palestinians and represent our third-largest private employer. Church-related organizations run a third of the health services in the West Bank and Gaza. Yet, like all Palestinians, we have suffered the indignity of Israeli occupation and the crime of apartheid. Since Israel’s independence in 1948, our villages have been razed, our people ethnically cleansed, our lives, lands and stories erased. We have persevered through decades of disenfranchisement, military occupation and injustice alongside our Muslim Palestinian brothers and sisters, witnessing and enduring what the International Court of Justice has found may be plausibly called a genocide.

An Israeli strike killed top Iranian commanders, Iran said (NYT) An airstrike launched by Israel today destroyed a building belonging to the Iranian consulate in Damascus and killed at least three Iranian generals, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said in a statement. Four other officers were killed. Four Israeli officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged that Israel had carried out the attack. The strike targeted a secret meeting between Iranian intelligence officials and Palestinian militants to discuss the war in Gaza, Iranian officials said. Among those killed was General Mohamad Reza Zahedi, who oversaw Iran’s covert military operations in Syria and Lebanon. The strike appeared to be among the deadliest in a yearslong shadow war between Iran and Israel. Iran’s ambassador to Syria said, “This attack will have our fierce response.”

Pope’s Easter speech renews calls for peace (Washington Post) Speaking to tens of thousands of followers in St. Peter’s Square, and millions more across the globe, Pope Francis gave a solemn accounting of a world in crisis Sunday, using the pulpit of his Easter address to renew calls for a cease-fire in Gaza while drawing attention to other conflicts, from Ukraine to Haiti, heightened risks of famine, the threat of climate change and the plight of migrants. “How much suffering we see in the eyes of the children: The children in those lands at war have forgotten how to smile! With those eyes, they ask us: Why? Why all this death? Why all this destruction?” he said.

Exploring the Enchanting Beauty of Oman: Your Ultimate Guide to Oman Holidays

Nestled on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman is a country of mesmerizing landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. This hidden gem of the Middle East is rapidly gaining popularity as a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a unique and authentic holiday experience. With its stunning natural wonders, ancient forts, vibrant souks, and pristine coastline, Oman offers a wealth of opportunities for adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. Let's embark on a journey through this enchanting country and discover why Oman should be at the top of your holiday destination list.

Captivating Natural Landscapes: Oman boasts a diverse range of landscapes, from towering desert dunes to rugged mountains and picturesque coastlines. The Sultanate is home to the vast expanse of the Arabian Desert, where visitors can engage in thrilling activities such as dune bashing, camel riding, and overnight camping under the starry desert sky. The Wahiba Sands, with its undulating golden dunes, offers a quintessential desert experience that should not be missed.

For nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts, the Hajar Mountains present an awe-inspiring playground. Trekking and hiking trails wind through the rugged terrain, leading to hidden wadis (oases) and breathtaking viewpoints. Jebel Shams, known as the "Grand Canyon of Oman," offers jaw-dropping vistas that will leave you in awe of nature's grandeur.

Coastal Charms: Oman is blessed with a pristine coastline stretching over 3,000 kilometers, showcasing some of the most breathtaking beaches and azure waters in the region. The coastal city of Muscat, the capital of Oman, is an excellent base to explore the stunning beaches and indulge in water activities like snorkeling, diving, and fishing. Qantab Beach, Bandar Al Khairan, and Al Bustan Beach are just a few examples of the coastal gems that await.

Culture and Heritage: Oman has a rich cultural heritage deeply rooted in its history and traditions. The country is home to numerous historic forts, palaces, and ancient archaeological sites that tell the story of Oman's past. The iconic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture and a symbol of Oman's religious tolerance.

Venture into the old quarters of Muscat, Mutrah, and Nizwa to experience the traditional Omani way of life. Stroll through bustling souks filled with the aromas of exotic spices, admire intricately crafted silverware and textiles, and engage in friendly haggling with local vendors.

Warm Omani Hospitality: Oman is renowned for its warm and welcoming people who are proud to share their culture with visitors. Hospitality is deeply ingrained in Omani society, and you will find the locals eager to assist and guide you during your stay. From enjoying a cup of traditional Omani coffee with dates to being invited into someone's home for a meal, the genuine hospitality of Omanis will leave a lasting impression on your heart.

The country offers modern infrastructure, well-maintained roads, and a reliable transportation system that makes traveling within Oman convenient and comfortable. Furthermore, the government has taken significant steps to promote tourism, making visa procedures relatively straightforward for most nationalities.

Best Time to Visit: The best time to visit Oman is during the cooler months between October and April when temperatures are milder, ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. This period allows for comfortable exploration of outdoor attractions and activities. However, if you're interested in the desert experience, keep in mind that temperatures can be scorching

during the summer months, reaching highs of 40 degrees Celsius or more. It's advisable to plan your desert adventures in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the peak heat.

Must-Visit Destinations in Oman:

Wahiba Sands: A trip to Oman would be incomplete without experiencing the magical desert landscape of Wahiba Sands. Embark on a thrilling desert safari, ride camels, and spend a night under the starlit sky in a traditional Bedouin-style camp.

Jabal Akhdar: Located in the Al Hajar Mountains, Jabal Akhdar is known as the "Green Mountain" due to its terraced farms and fruit orchards. Explore the scenic hiking trails, visit ancient villages, and enjoy the cool climate amidst breathtaking mountain views.

Sur: A coastal town famous for its maritime history and traditional dhow building. Discover the picturesque Sur Corniche, visit the Sur Maritime Museum, and witness the skilled craftsmen constructing traditional wooden boats.

Salalah: Located in the southern part of Oman, Salalah offers a unique experience with its lush greenery and monsoon season. Explore the stunning beaches, visit the historic Al Baleed Archaeological Park, and immerse yourself in the fragrance of frankincense at the Al Husn Souq.

Culinary Delights: Oman's cuisine is a delightful fusion of Arabian, Indian, and Persian influences. Don't miss the opportunity to savor traditional Omani dishes such as Shuwa (marinated lamb cooked in an underground sand oven), Mashuai (roasted spiced kingfish), and Harees (a creamy meat and wheat dish). Indulge in Omani dates, camel milk, and aromatic spices that add a unique flavor to the local cuisine.

In conclusion, Oman holidays offer a remarkable blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. Whether you're seeking adventure in the desert, relaxation on pristine beaches, or an exploration of ancient forts and bustling souks, Oman has something to offer every traveler. Plan your journey to this enchanting country, immerse yourself in its rich traditions, and create lifelong memories in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula.
