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.
Family Friendly Summer Activities
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:
