Some Fun Family Activities for July

Need a little inspiration to spice up the "lazy days of summer"? Here are a few suggestions:

  • Send a note and a photograph to an elderly friend.

  • Make a teepee from three long sticks and a couple of bed sheets

  • Make a Purple Cow: put grape juice, vanilla yogurt, and ice cubes in the blender. Enjoy!

  • Camp out in your backyard.

  • On a clear night, lay a sheet on the ground, take your favorite snack, and enjoy watching the stars.

  • Go fishing.

  • Make your own "Slip and Slide" on an incline in your yard. An old shower curtain works great!

  • Have your own "Family Olympics" with silly races and games. Then watch some of the Olympics on television.

  • Brainstorm as a family some ways to warm someone's heart. Then choose one and do it.

  • Go on a picnic near a creek and splash around on a hot day.

Summer fun doesn't have to be expensive. Use your imagination!
