When summer boredom hits, it seems like the only thing to do is go lay by the pool...or plop on the couch watching movie marathons. But I promise, there's so much more to do. It just takes a little bit of thinking outside the box to curb that boredom. Here are some things to do in the summer other than watching Netflix:
