Summer is almost here, which means it’s time to get out the kids outside to enjoy the weather. But what activities should your kids enjoy? Should they be running around playing sports? Or should you take them out for a walk or bike ride? You are in command of the activities that your children should be doing during the summer break!

If your home is anything like mine at all, a little bit of outdoor (or indoor!) entertainment is in order! To help alleviate summer boredom, I am bringing you a list of a few of my favorite cheap, fun, and FREE summer activities for kids that are sure to pump up their energy levels and give them a sense of independence as they enjoy the great outdoors! Whether you opt for a biking and walking adventure or something more extensive, such as an obstacle course, you’re sure to both enjoy and appreciate the beauty of nature at its best. And the best part is… most of these activities are incredibly easy for kids to do and won’t cost you a penny!

A perfect example of a fun outdoor activity for kids is a little ice block treasure hunt! This is perfect for a hot summer day because not only can your kids play a hands on game of treasure hunting, they can also use the skills learned while playing to make homemade crafts for the home. From do-it-yourself construction paper creations to beautiful polka dot crafts, you can spend a little time putting together a project using the skills learned while playing a treasure hunt game. Best of all, these projects can be made inside, in the backyard, or outdoors and still turn out great – and very inexpensively!

Paintball is another great way to get kids out of the house, out of the hot summer heat, and into the cool, refreshing summer air. Whether you choose to play in a tournament style game with prize money to be won, or just go out with some paint balls and a friend to play at a local park, this is one of the most affordable and fun summer activities for kids. To make this fun outdoor summer activities for kids even more exciting, consider planning a paintball obstacle course. You can play it with a smaller group of kids on a Sunday, a bigger group on a Saturday, or one big group on a Friday night. What better way to maximize fun and minimize expense than with an obstacle course?

Beach baseball and softball games are also a great way to get kids out of the house for an afternoon of fun. The great thing about baseball and softball is that they are usually easy to setup and take down quickly. In addition to being low key activities, these games also allow kids to improve their baseball and softball skills while having a good time at the same time. And, as another great idea for summer activities for kids, consider team building activities, like a Frisbee game. Team building has been shown to be a great way to boost confidence and help children learn to work as a team.

Another fun summer activity for kids is to decorate their houses for the coming year. There are many ways to decorate a house, both indoors and outside. Many families have great ideas for decorating their house’s inside for the holidays. If you know any member of the family who has a knack for painting, you might want to let them come to help you with the interior decorating. The great thing about letting your little ones help with decorating is that they can bring you their own ideas and suggestions. In addition to letting them decorate, you can spend a quiet day with them outside playing in the yard and taking in all of the beautiful fall colors.

Outdoor summer activities include a lot of different kinds of sports, from baseball to soccer to kayaking. Many families play outside every single day of the summer, whether it is on a regular basis or just once a month. These kinds of activities can be especially invigorating when the weather starts to get a little colder. It can mean running out and getting a great book or watching the kids play catch. Even better is when you take them out to a nice dinner outside with some good friends or neighbors. It is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and it also lets you spend some quality time with your kids, which is so important during the summer.

As you can see, there are lots of fun summer activities for kids. Take advantage of all that summer offers, even if you have to pay for them. Your kids will thank you for it later on down the road. Remember, a happy child is a child who is healthy, active, and well adjusted. With a few great activities, plenty of sunshine, and plenty of free summer activities, your kids will be begging you for more later on.

Hubby could not sleep last night. I thought he was already tired since he had a lot to do since morning. I was busy cleaning the house. He was inside the other room sorting some stuff. The boys were going in and out of the room, and they seemed to have so much fun bugging and disturbing him.

Hubby has always been an impatient person, but with the kids, I think he is more patient than I am. He can tolerate these things.

He found it so hard to sleep so he went beside me while I was busy playing Online casinos. He was so much interested so he got the other laptop and played, too! After playing, we were teasing and calling each other gamblers.

In this online casinos site, you’ll definitely have a lot of fun! I did not want to try it out at first because I was thinking that gambling was bad. But I realized that it would only turn out to be negative when I allow myself to be so much hooked up with this game. It’s okay to do some stuff like this but only in moderation.

Try visiting the site out! It’s so much enjoyable here!

We’ve already bought kuya marc his potty trainer few months ago. He is already 2 years and 3 months old but we haven’t started potty training yet. They said we should look for signs that he is ready for it, like pulling his pants down or showing some indications that he doesn’t like wearing diapers anymore. But so far, we haven’t seen any.

I’ve been doing my own researches about how to go about this potty training. Really, I have no idea at all. They say that this is a crucial stage for a toddler since this could be a source of frustration if not accomplished well.

I’ve also sought some pieces of advice from the members of a parenting group in multiply and some of them were very sympathetic to answer my questions.

So those who’ll come across this, I’ll be pleased of you’ll also share some of your experiences when you started potty training your kids.

Oftentimes, we allow ourselves to be submerged in feelings of depression, loneliness and dejection. how many times have we felt that all things tend to fall apart and that happiness seems to be a remote possibility? We worry most of the time. Unknowingly, we surrender ourselves to all the negativities we could possibly engage ourselves in.

We haven’t learned to APPRECIATE.

And what makes appreciation next to impossible???? Many things. Past hurts, personal tight spots, global crises, even other people’s predicaments. We absorb all these things that is probably why we look right through some things worthy of our sheer indebtedness.

When things have become so mundane and nothing exciting and out of the ordinary happens, boredom inhibits us to thank the Creator for the predictability that gives us some kind of assurance that life is not worthless after all.

There are so many things to thank for. I believe the list is as boundless as the love our Father has for each and everyone of us.

Sun may set and darkness may loom around us, but it’s guaranteed that the sun will shine again the
next day and its radiance will greet us once again. Rain may heavily pour, but after a while, Mr. Sun will beam once more. Problems may come, tears may fall, but after some time, we’ll hit upon the resolution and get a hold of our happiness and peace of mind.

Everyone is gifted with a lot of people who, beyond doubt, love, cherish and sincerely wish for our happiness. But unluckily, many times we have taken them for granted and have failed to notice all the things they do for us.

Our body is said to have the ability to heal itself. Despite all the trauma it has gone through, be it physical or in any other aspect, it has the knack to bounce back to its usual state. But this is only possible if we will help our bodies to make this happen.

These, among many others, are the reasons why we should extend our gratitude to The One Supreme Being who provided us more than we could ever ask for. He is the fountain of life and strength. Without Him, we’re nothing.

Take the conscious effort to relish all the simple things around us. Let’s take pleasure in each and every grace showered upon us. Our life is a blessing, we have to use it well. And for us to never go wrong, we have to offer all our actions and dealings to our Great Provider.

And one way of giving back all the glory, we should make it an everyday endeavor to be a blessing to everyone… not just to the people dear to us, but even to those people we meet barely through chance encounters.
