**//__ By Abby Kingman __//** Yes it is almost here one of my favorite times of the year. So can you guess what it is? Summer! I really enjoy the season and sometimes I don’t well most of the time I do. In the summer I get to sit in the nice warm sun, play games and going swimming does it sound fun? Well those were just examples of a summer activities that are most popular. But what some people don’t know is that there are **__tons__** of more activities that some people don’t expect to be done as summer activities, like you could visit a little town in Colorado called Manitou Springs. In Manitou there are at least over 25 things you can do as a summer activity to do. If you don’t know of any, then I will give you some specific examples: well for starters, a great activity to do in Manitou in the summer is… well, Manitou has some awesome parks that you can go chill out at and play. Another great activity is that Manitou has a lot of stores and I am sure if you ever go to Manitou then you will find a store that fits your style. **__Food__** is another popular thing in Manitou there are lots of nice dining places and it also has some places where you can just walk up to a window and order. Some of the good foods in Manitou include: funnel cakes, French fries, sandwiches, soda and even candy some including: chocolate, and ice cream. Hey, I just remembered another popular thing in Manitou. The arcade. But the thing about the Manitou arcade is it has unique games like the horse races. How you play is, you roll a small red ball and you try to get it into a one of the holes. The thing that makes this game harder than it sounds is there is a piece of glass type material about 4 inches pass where you start to roll your ball up and once you get the ball into one of the holes your horse is in the race. If you ever go into Manitou then you should consider checking out the arcade. The one other thing that is cool about Manitou is that even though Manitou is small and not many people know of it, it is a pretty cool town and I am proud to live in it and call it my hometown.
