The Frisky Biscuit Endorses

Summer is all about chasing down the fun times that remind you of being young and free. It is also the time to prevent the heat from maliciously penetrating your soul and ruining the simple pleasures you have earned. In honor of the first day of summer, here are some recommended activities to keep you occupied in case heat haze decreases your ability to think of something to do. These are Frisky Biscuit tested and proven to bring contentment, whether on a date or with a group of your favorite scamps and ne’er-do-wells:
