With only a few more weeks for school for my kids, my mind has been actively searching for summer activities to entertain them with! My girls are always on the go, they love to have something excited planned for the day. My 12 year old normally makes up some games to play with the younger ones.

We spend most of our time riding our bikes around the lake, jumping on the trampoline and playing tetherball! Even though those are their favorites, it doesn’t take anymore than a week after classes get out that they are asking what new games or crafts they can do now. So I thought I would give you some ideas in one spot and let the kids choose! Here are some summer activities for your kiddos to try:

  1. Tie-Dyed T-Shirt Quilt – Organized 31

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
