Summer is coming! Are you ready for extra family time, fantastic weather, and lazier days? I know I am!
To make the most of this beautiful time of year, think about making your family time as intentional as possible. Here are five great ways to connect with those you love! (And none of them call for much prep work or clean up!)
1. Nature Exploration
Pick a day in early summer (when the weather's not too hot yet), and take the family on a hike exploration. Bonus points if you pack a snack to enjoy at a scenic spot too!
2. Ask Questions
When your family night needs a little spark, try these get to know you questions! They test how well your family members know you, plus offer good laughs and open conversation.
3. Movie Night
Grab your snacks or pizza and make a regular summer ritual of catching your favorite Disney movies on video! Need something a little more exciting? Try a drive-thru with your tribe! Costs are usually low and summer nights create the perfect weather for outside viewing.
4. Water Fight
Grab the water guns, slip n slide, and even the hose for an "every man for himself" kind of night together! Even parents will be surprised at how fun it is to act like a kid again.
5. Learn Together
Beat the summer slide by learning at home! Check out an awesome kids podcast or audiobook series and get into it together! Enjoy talking about the books and keeping kids engaged with things that interest them.
In Conclusion
Summer equals fun. And you're doing it right if you let your hair down for a bit and truly ENJOY the time with your family and friends. I hope you use the time to deepen those most important relationships!
