CRYSTAL LAKE, IL — It hasn't been your typical summer. The coronavirus pandemic has thrown many people's social plans for a loop.

The typical entertainment options are not available, people are being asked to distance themselves and gather in much smaller groups, and many outdoor pools have remained shuttered.

While this summer looks different from past years, we know you all have still been finding ways to have fun. This past week, we asked Crystal Lake-Cary Patch readers to share their favorite photos from the past few months on our Facebook page.
