10.9. 8.7. 6. 5. 4. 3.2. 1. I'm Bethany Van Delft. It's August 14th, and this is no ordinary episode of the 10 News. This is the 10 News Gets Extra.

Some of you may already be back in school.

And some of you might be going back any day now.

But we here at the 10 News aren't quite ready to say goodbye to summer.

So today, we're sharing our final installment of our summer survival guide. A'AY Yay!

Let's dive in.

All summer long, we've been talking about fun ways to make the most of your summer,

from braving ice cream headaches to finding a good beach read, we've had you covered.
