Summer is finally here! I love summer time, and all the summer fun activities we like to do as a family! Having a good 2 1/2 months with my kids without as much structure as there is during the school year is the best! Although I do love a little structure and like to have a plan for our days so the kids don’t tell me they are bored. 
When I think of summer I think of hiking, swimming, lots of popsicles, going to movies, going on a summer vacation, family reunions and playing with friends. It’s important to have fun during the summer. Last year I came up with a whole bunch of summer fun ideas for the kids to pick to do each day of the week! It helped motivate them to get their chores done so we could do something fun! One of our favorite things to do last year was play at the river. We went 1-2 times a week and the kids loved finding rocks, catching tadpoles and swimming with friends.
Today I am over at Tastefully Frugal sharing my list and printable of 40 Free Summer Activities! So head on over there to read it, and have a wonderful day!
These are some great ideas! My stepsons visit us for the summer so we are always on the lookout for fun, free things to do!
Kendra, These are some great ideas. I will have to pass this on to my daughters. Thanks for sharing.
Hiking with kids would be fun using a child carrier like Piggyback Rider standing child carrier. You’ll surely enjoy your summer hikes.
