Summer is in full swing here and with that comes the busy days. With Mackenzie being out of school I am trying to make sure we have fun activities to do to keep the girls from getting on each others nerves. There are a lot of fun things on our to do list this year. Most of these activities are free or nearly free.
Here is what we have so far:
- Our fourth annual 4th of July party
- Middleton Splash Pad
- Activities at the Verona Public Library
- We are also doing to Summer Reading program at the library
- Free kids bowling at Ten Pin Alley - I'm super excited about this one
- Mackenzie has t-ball practice every Monday and Wednesday night so the 2 youngest will get some good park time in during practice.
- Goodman pool - done on 6/26/2012
- Mackenzie's t-ball games start the second week of July
- $2 movie Tuesdays - I'm thinking we are going to see Tin Tin and the Lorax
- We are planning on getting up to the Chippewa Flowage at least twice this summer
- Fly kites
- Playdates, playdates, playdates.
- Color with sidewalk chalk
Kristen gave me some more great ideas that I'm going to add to the list.
- go to the zoo - we have gone to the local zoo, but want to go to the "big" zoo in Milwaukee too
go camping(in your backyard too)
fishing -Scott has taken Kennedy fishing once already
go to the beach or take a hike at Gov Dodge - play in the sprinkler -this is an almost daily thing here as I try to bring our grass back to life
- make smores
- have a picnic in your backyard or at the park
- go to the farmers market -we did this on Saturday
- petting zoo -we went to one on Father's Day
- concert on the square or concert in the park
- pick strawberries - we accomplished this at the beginning of June
- go to a drive in movie
- have sno-cones or ice cream
- have a movie party
- catch fireflies
- family pictures -planning on taking care of this in the fall when all the leaves change colors
- read outside
- make up stories/plays
- build a "blanket fort"(that's what my girls call it lol) inside or outside
- go for a boat ride
- paint
- crafts/projects
- Sing silly songs
It may seem like a lot just looking at the list. But we like to have options and will always have at least one no travel day where we don't even get in the truck.
Do you have any other fun summer ideas we could add to the list?
So i'm going to try writing this again, since it had problems posting before lol! I have a few things I think you could add to your list.
