Summer is finally here and everyone schedules can be pretty hectic, kids have soccer games, and summer camps, parents are trying to juggle work and chauffeuring kids to and from their summer activities. Make sure to take some time this summer to celebrate the wonderful weather and sunshine. Here’s a list of the Top Five Things to do to Welcome the Summer!
5. Day at the Beach. What better way to welcome the summer than packing up the big umbrella and some sand toys and hitting up the local beach. The kids can spend the day splashing and building sandcastles while you enjoy relaxing and working on the latest Sudoku puzzle.
4. Adventure Day. Spend a summer day at the local metroparks. Some are located around lakes and offer canoe, kayaks, and paddleboat rentals which is a great way to enjoy the sunshine of summer. You can also pack the fishing poles and spend the day fishing with the kids (Warning: Some kids are squeamish around fish and worms).
3. Rainy Day. For those stormy and cloudy days in the summer, plan some great indoor activities. Play board games and you can also create a scavenger hunt for the kids throughout the house. Another great activity when you are stuck inside during the summer is cooking! Try letting the kids make homemade ice cream, it’s easy to make and they will have a blast!
2. Amusement Park. This is a great way to celebrate the summer! Cotton Candy, and funnel cakes, roller coasters and water parks, what more could you ask for in the summer? This outing is perfect for those sunny and gorgeous summer days!
1. Vacation. Of course a vacation is going to be my number one on ways to welcome the summer! What better way to celebrate the summer than taking the family on a vacation. Whether it’s going to Disney World, a resort, or simply renting a lake house for a week, this is the best way to welcome back the beautiful sunshine of summer!
So have fun this summer and don’t forget to celebrate because before we know it, the snow will be flying and Christmas decorations will up!
