I created a list of fun activities we can do as a family throughout the summer. Some are pre-planned activities I know we are doing and others are activities to do when we don't have any plans. These particular activities will likely be done on the weekends when Dad is home with us.
Our list of activities:
- fishing
- camping
- local pool
- zoo
- baseball game
- bubbles
- sprinklers
- summer movies (our local theater has inexpensive summer kid's movies)
- homemade ice cream
- go on a hike
- picnic
- pink jeep tour
- library program (our children's library has a summer reading program with a lot of fun local guests to entertain and educate the kids)
- tabletop s' mores
- pool party
- mini golf
- summer concert
- water balloon fight
- garden
- playdates
- chalk
- fly a kite
Being a craft blogger, I had the overwhelming urge to go all out and make something with card stock and embellishments and basically just over-do it. But, this time, I just needed to keep it simple. I used a large piece of kid's art paper and different colored markers. Anyone can do this in about 10 minutes. It helps to include the kids in coming up with some ideas of fun things they would like to do.
We have already checked one item off the list - camping, and tomorrow we get to cross off another - pink jeep tour in Sedona.
