In this blog I am going to go over some cool ways to have an awesome summer especially if you have kids!
I am first going to go over things you can do with water then I will move on to different ways to have an awesome .
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
1. Play hot potato with water balloons (there’s also another way to do this you can buy a Mr potato head and put in the water balloon and when the timer goes out that person gets wet.) You basically either just pass the water balloon or you can throw it to each other. This is great for younger kids…we actually played this with a 5 and 8 year old and they love it.
2. Get water balloons and just throw them at each other that always gets a lot of laughs.
3. Get water guns…fill it up with water and just shoot each other with it. This is always fun and the whole family can get involved.
4. Get a pool and have activities like shooting hoops, passing the beach ball and do different water games that will make the whole family’s summer day awesome.
5. Get a water slide (there are some slides out there that are really cool)…we just got an awesome slide that reminds me of surfing because you can slide on the side kinda like on a wave so it’s really cool and the kids will have a blast with this (this activity is more for the kids to do to keep cool this summer)
6. Go To A Water Park!
“it’s a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip of wine … it’s summertime!”
― Kenny Chesney
7. Go on a vacation (everyone loves vacations…if there is someone that doesn’t lol I’d be surprised)
8. Go to your local ride park ( what I mean by ride park is a park that has a lot of rides for both kids and adults).
This can be a lot of fun for the whole family for some summer fun!
9. If your someone that just would like some alone time with your spouse and you have kids then this is something you could do so that you could get that alone time. There are a lot of summer camps that kids can join and can be very educational and a lot of fun.
If you set up somewhere to go while your kids are at camp you could get away to get some down time with spouse while the kids are learning and having fun. Or you could stay at home with your spouse while kids are at the camp.
10. Mini put put golf: This is also a great way to have some fun during summer.
11. Have a cookout and invite family and friends (I know the preparing and cooking is not always fun but its just getting together…having good food and just enjoying that is fun).
12. Have a fire and roast marshmallows to make smores. This is something that just about everyone loves!
“summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things can happen to quiet people. for those few months, you’re not required to be who everyone thinks you are, and that cut-grass smell in the air and the chance to dive into the deep end of a pool give you a courage you don’t have the rest of the year. you can be grateful and easy, with no eyes on you, and no past. summer just opens the door and lets you out.”
― Deb Caletti, Honey, Baby, Sweetheart
13. Get a trampoline! We just got one not too long ago and it has been loads of fun for everyone!
14. Go camping…this is something I want to do this summer! I haven’t been camping in a long while.
15. Go fishing (this is something that can be a lot of fun)!
16. Go to your local aquarium or zoo!
17. Go to whatever you have locally that can be fun and educational. We have a place not too far from here where you can learn about Indians.
18. Go bowling! Bowling can be quite fun and at our local Bowling alley they have a restaurant in the bowling alley and they have games like my favorite game called “air hockey”.
19. Take a road trip!
20. Make your own homemade ice cream and go pick strawberries at a strawberry farm (this is something I always want to do every ).
Which one is the one you want to do first during summer?
