Summer may not officially start until June 21st but with the kids out of school and the sun high in the sky beating down at temperatures in the 90’s it is safe to say summer has begun in South Florida. No matter what age your children are 2, 10, or 16 one thing that seems to plague them during the summer vacation is boredom. The best way to start your summer is with a list of things to do when the boredom does set in.

Picnic

Get away from the house for a time and enjoy a summer day in the park. Make sure to pack your picnic basket and blanket. The kids will have a great time sliding, swinging, and running around the park. You can sit back and relax and watch or join in. When packing your picnic basket make sure to included food that is not easy to spoil, hand snacks like goldfish and graham crackers. Make sure the kids are hydrated with water and our favorite Capri Sun!

Play a Board Game

My kids love playing board games when we join them. Let everyone pick one board game and play all of them. Make sure to prepare some fun snacks like popcorn, trail mix, chips, and of course Capri Sun to wash it down.

Create a Scrapbook

Remember that summer vacation from last year? Grab the photos and some paper, stickers, and fun items form your vacation. With your children create a fun scrapbook and laugh and remember the vacation and plan your next family vacation.

Take Photos

Kids love being behind the camera. As an adult it is fun to see what peaks their interest and the photos they choose to take. Buy each of your children a disposable camera and let them take photos of whatever they like. Then develop them and see what wonders you will find.

Summer is a great time to enjoy as much time as you can with your kids without the hassle of homework, school, and extra activities. Enjoy the time when you have it before you know it they are all grown up, driving, and leaving home!
