Every year we create a summer fun list. We add things we want to do individually, ideas our kids suggest, and activities we like to do every summer to keep traditions going.

I like to list parks or shops that we have known about but haven’t had a chance to visit. We include festivals, new restaurants, and amusement parks. We also add low cost or free summer ideas such as picnics, kite flying, snowcones, and running through the yard with the sprinklers on.
