Remember when we were kids, how easy it was to have fun? You would go outside and play with the neighbors. The summer would go by very fast and next thing you knew it was time to go back to school. During my summers as a kid there was no cell phones or computers in my home. My siblings and I had to entertain ourselves the more natural way. Unlike now a lot of kids just want to be in front of the T.V., the IPAD or playing video games.
This summer could be a fun one if you plan ahead. What we like to do is check our parks schedule of events for kids during the summer. There are a lot of fun things to do. In my city park, they offer swimming classes for kids (very inexpensive), movie night for the family under the stars (you can bring food and snacks & it’s FREE).
On those warm nights we actually camp outside in the yard. We set up our canopy bring out blankets and pillows and snacks. We have a pit fire and watch movies on our laptop outside. We also tell stories that we make up. It’s very fun! My daughter loves it. Best of all absolutely FREE, no expense made. Because we already had all those things at home that we used.
Look online for events that are happening in your city this summer and go out and have fun with your kids.
