60+ Things To Do This Summer With The Whole Family
The summer is officially here! Alarm clocks are getting hidden away, bedtimes are extended, and parents everywhere are feeling a little frantic. It's because now, we as parents are responsible to fill our children's schedules with all of the fun adventures they've been looking forward to. We can't look to teachers for the next few months...It's all on us.Our kids are going to wake up every morning and the first thing they're going to ask is, "What are we doing today?"Don't worry, I'm here to help. I have put together a list of fun activities to keep your family busy this summer! My friends and I put this list together because we were tired of racking our brains every day last summer, trying to think about what we could possibly do that wouldn't mean spending all of our money each day.Summers can get expensive! If you're not careful, you can end up spending a few times your house payment on a few months of adventures for the family! Instead, why not save up for one big trip or activity and then fill your summer with cheap, family-friendly summer activities?
