Summer Activities Planning for & Family Memories
By Kjersten Jaochim
Take a minute and think back to summers when you were a kid. What are your favorite memories? Did you take an epic family vacation or attend a specialized summer camp? Or maybe an unforgettable memory is something as simple and innocent as a lemonade stand. Now, as adults and parents, we want to help our children create those fun summer memories that will last a lifetime.
With summer right around the corner, now is the time to start planning! Here are five tips for planning a fantastic summer with your family: firstteesouthdakota.org info@firstteesouthdakota.org
1. CREATE A BUCKET LIST. Make this the fun part! Sit down with your kids and create a summer bucket list of their favorite activities - big and small (and you might be surprised at all the small things on the list). Think of anything and everything that will make you smile when you reflect on the memories.
