The Official Summer Word Chain Game

Ready to catch some summer fun? Here is the latest edition to this fun Word Chain Game
This game is simple: build a chain of words related to summer, sunny days, vacations, and all things bright and breezy.
How to Play
The word you post must start with the last letter of the previous word.
Keep your word related to summer (beaches, road trips, warm weather, refreshing treats, or outdoor fun). If you run out of words, you can use "happy" or "energetic" words.
Be creative! Try to avoid the most common words to keep the chain going longer and more challenging.
Example Chain: Beach > Hammock > Kite
Let’s start the chain! The first word is: Sunshine
