I am such a lucky girl. Why? Because the sun is shining, summer is almost here and I have the best family and friends that a girl could ever ask for. We are a close family and our friends are just as close. We love to get together and eat and play games and just spend time together. Just over the last few weekends we have gotten together for 2 cookouts, my niece’s 14th birthday and just yesterday we got together to celebrate Mother’s Day. We had a great time being together and sharing great memories and “Sharing a Coke”. I cannot wait for the next get-together and the next time we get to “Share a Coke” together.

While I was preparing for all of the these fun times with family and friends, I had to do a little shopping first. I stopped by our local Giant Eagle and got all of the necessary ingredients for our cookouts and of course, I picked up all the Coca-Cola that I would need for all of my thirsty friends and family. I also got all the ingredients necessary for my delicious Coca-Cola Cake!( I will share that recipe with you later in this post! ) You can find the Coke in the beverages aisle!

After that, we cooked up some delicious food and set up some fun games for everyone to play! We do this at cookouts and at other celebrations, like birthday parties and Mother’s Day celebrations! We like a good mix of fun games like horseshoes, cornhole, badminton and of course, everyone’s favorite - swimming! All of these fun games and activities really works up a thirst in everyone. And they are all super happy when we Share a Coke with them.

After we have had our fill of food and games, we all just like to sit around and talk. Sometimes we listen to music or even play some instruments of our own. No matter what we are doing, we are having fun because we are spending time with each other, we are sharing cokes with each other and making the greatest memories that we can cherish forever.

We have two more birthdays coming up in June! My sister’s birthday is next and my daughter will be turning 10 this year! TEN! Where does the time go??!?!? And there is also Memorial Day! We always have a huge cookout for Memorial Day! And then the 4th of July! I cannot wait for a summer filled with fun, memories and sharing Cokes!

  15. I remember what I considered long, boring Summers doing fix-it work with my father and then sharing an ice cold Coke afterwards. While I always gripped about it then, I have fond memories of it now and Coke was a big part of that. Also, love the cake recipe. Totally something I could see myself trying.

  24. Omg! I would of never thought of making a cake with a coke! Sounds delicious. I’m still in the search for a coke with my name on it! My name isn’t even rare either so I’m just having some bad luck lol….

  25. I agree, just sitting around with fam./friends is the best for creating feelings. Goes back to that old ‘not what you got, but how they made you feel’ saying. :)

  26. Looks like a fun variation on cake - we will have to use this for a sampling I think. Looks like this year I may even find one with my name. Nothing for any of the kids though, we went way off the beaten path with names for them.

    • You can find out if your name is on one by going to ShareaCoke.com. And if they do not have one with your kids’ names on it, you can have one made!
