Here are words I like to write
All day long 'til it is night.
Words go up and words go down
When complete approve the sound.

If you complete my little rhyme,
Things will come your way in time.

PROMPT: "Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun." — Brian Wilson

Netflix has a documentary about the Beach Boys right now. I lived through every occasion that was discussed. I was a teenager when their hits started coming. My family moved to California, a town about an hour and a half drive from the beach, from New Jersey. I was a new student in my new high school class. The school was not one building like New Jersey, but a series of bungalows, each one for a different subject. You would have a homeroom to start your day, then move from building to building, class to class.

In the summer, for the first 3 summers I lived there, I spent most of each day at the beach. I was allowed to drive one of the family cars. Sunshine every day. You would need to arrive at the beach after about 10 am which is when the ocean fog would burn off. It would begin getting chilly as the sun started its descent.

I have been to Disneyland countless times. Many high schools had class parties there. On those occasions, the park would be closed to the public. Nowadays, the park stays open late for everyone. I doubt they have those kinds of private parties. Those summers, in the sunshine, playing volleyball, and playing in the ocean, are some of my fondest memories.

The short answer is summers at the beach as well as trips to Disneyland mean happy times.
