So everyone knows what the summertime boredom blues are, so to keep them at bay consider doing a family activity at least once a week. These memories will last a lifetime, Trust me! As a child we had board game night every Saturday night unless my mom was busy, or she and I would play SNES monopoly and Mario Brothers until 1 am sometimes. I cherish these memories and thank her for spending quality time with me as a child. Awesome memories!!!
Evening Walk
In the evenings before sunset I love to go for a walk with my kids and hubby and just enjoy everyones company.
Morning Walk
Living in the little town we live in, in the morning the air is cool and crisp and perfect for walking. Its also nice to see the flowers and chat with our elderly neighbors who too are morning people. Also a great way to get to know your neighbors
Ice Cream
We love to walk over to our local MooCones, great local Wilcoxsons ice cream shack. Cheap, and a great treat! Our family favorite to do in the summer!
Library
Local libraries offer great reading groups for children and family. Usually once or twice a week a staff or a volunteer from the community reads for 30 minutes various childrens books and engage with them.
Picnic at the Park (lunch or dinner)
Spend a family meal at the park...pack a meal together or pick up some Subway and eat and play at the park. Fun activity and wears the kids out! Win win!
Playdates
If you have friends with kids, start up a once a week, same day every week so no confusion and have a big playdate at a park. I did this with my cousin Kristie! Super fun and again it wears the kids out.
Fishing
Cost of license is around 26 dollars now in Montana so why not go fishing? Fun, helps build childs patience and great way to spend time with your kids. No license needed for kids under 11 or 12 I believe so cheap cheap family fun. We always take the dog and kids and our lunches and spend 3 or 4 hours out enjoying the outdoors.
