Summer activities for families

Go to summer activities is a list that I’m trying to bang out right now as 2 of my kids just finished pre-school. I think that it varies depending on how old your kids are and what their developmental abilities are. I know specifically for me, we’re trying to plan at least one summer vacation and maybe 1-2 weekend trips. But on a day to day basis, I think there’s going to be a lot of playground time. I’m literally making a list of 100 things we can do this summer, whether it’s fly a kite, go fishing – I’m not sure how patient toddlers are going to be with fishing. But even little things. Drawing with chalk outside and creating a fun obstacle course or arts and crafts. Really just making an effort to get them outside and burn out some of that energy as possible.
