June 20, 2008 By 5 Comments

Summer is here! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming. Living in Maine, it is a long journey to get to this point. Here is a list of things you can do with or without your children today and in the next few months:

first day of summer activities

  • Head to the beach or local swimming pool/water park.
  • Try a new playground.
  • Pull out the wading pool or play in the sprinkler.
  • Pick a summer bouquet from your garden or wildflowers.
  • Check out a matinee (air conditioned inside).
  • Find a Farmer’s Market.
  • Have a water balloon fight.
  • Go fishing.
  • Try a new summer pasta/potato salad.
  • Make a big fruit cobbler from whatever is in season near you.

Happy summer to you! What is your favorite way to enjoy the summer?

    This sounds like a fun filled summer! Quick advice to the moms out there…so my kids want to do all of these activities but to be honest we only have time for a handful. So I started using this site (Pinchd) with my kids. They write there list of things to do and share it with me and their friends to see who wants to do what.

    I am definitely going to add some of these to my kids list.

    Oh, here is the link to the site: http://bit.ly/c02EPZ

    In the summer we have a seasonal lot at our favorite campground. We bring our 5th Wheel camper there and it acts as a great summer home, on the lake, where we swim, kayak, bike ride, nature walk, 4 wheeling and relax.

    We often celebrate the first day of summer with a short nature walk and having some family time out in the sunshine. Today it rained on us, so we’ll postpone until Sunday. :-)
