Hello Summer!

Ahhh Summer time! My absolute favorite time of the year. BBQ's, pool parties and camping are just a few of the normal activities you will be doing this season with your loved ones but what about the weekends you just want to lounge around your home and let the kids play outside? I have come up with a small yet simple list of children activities this summer that will keep the kids busy and momma happy!



*Build a fort out of old sheets and sticks
*Bike rides
*Spot shapes in the clouds
* Water slide day (tarps or good old Slip-n-Slides)
* Outdoor tea party with Mom
*Make paper boats to float in puddles (or race @ the river)
*Tie a towel for super hero capes (Join in the fun Moms!)
*Picnic in the Park
*Go on a Plant Scavenger Hunt (Link)
*Hot Potato with water balloons
* Grab your favorite summer time treat (Shave Ice, cotton candy)
*Fishing with Dad
* Mud puddle jumping
* Climb trees and spot different animals
*Board games on the patio
* Movie night in the backyard (Projector, old sheets and of course, treats!)



..and of course when spending time with your loved ones, always remember to turn off your cell phone and enjoy the company of your family! (okay keep it on just to snap a few photos)
