There are certain things that are just synonymous with summer fun, but sometimes between camps, sleepovers and just too many hot days we forget to make the most of the lazy days of summer. Here are 11 things that will help you take advantage of the last days of summer before the routines and schedules of the school year become a part of your day.
- Have a campfire and make S'mores or other sweet treat
- Take a trip to the zoo, river, beach or even a park that you've never visited before
- Make homemade ice cream
- Grab the sidewalk chalk and start playing with the kids (I love hopscotch and tic-tac-toe)
- Blow bubbles, lots of bubbles
- Go to a pool party - A lot of public pools have end-of-the-season pool parties, some even for your dogs
- Visit a farm or your farmer's market and let the kids decide on something new to try
- Take in an outdoor movie or go to a drive-in
- Have a water balloon fight
- Have an picnic
- Plan a surprise family playdate
Share with us some of the fun ways you make the most of the final days of summer.
