Summer is winding down, and school is back in session my Nieces and Nephew started back this week!! It seems like summer just started!! What it doesn't necessarily mean the end of family fun! August is National Family Fun Month and I've got some suggestions for activities for parents and kids to do together …. to keep the spirit of summer alive.
Take a Trip to the Zoo
Take a Trip to the Zoo
Kids love animals. Parents love animals. Problem solved. Do it in style with Peek-A-Zoo, the super cute children’s clothing line features “headless” animals on bright colored shirts and infant onesies. They're interactive and educational with fun animal facts on the back of every shirt. Each Peek-A-Zoo tee comes packaged in an animal cracker inspired box. Peek-A-Zoo tees retail for $22 and are sold in zoo and aquarium gift shops nationwide and online
Go for a Family Hike
Nothing brings a family together like enjoying the outdoors together. But before you lace up those hiking boots, make sure you stay well-hydrated with VestPac, which allows you to carry more than a liter of water, hands-free. Besides holding plenty of H2O for the family, VestPac hydration packs also have a front pocket to fit your essentials such as keys, a cell phone and ID. $74.95.

One More Trip to the Beach
Summer is not over yet! Plan one more trip to the beach or lake, but make sure to bring plenty of shade to block out the sun’s powerful rays. With beachBUB, struggling to keep umbrellas anchored in the sand is no longer an issue. This fantastic, portable beach umbrella base is so simple and so effective and only $19.95.
I hope you and your family can find a little time to keep summer alive!!
Those baby shirts are so cute. I need a baby to buy one for now.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you kids are back already....we are in the NW and kids start after labor day. I have to giggle over Naughty Nana....hehe!
ReplyDeleteI just love the sea turtle one! We are big sea turtle fans in our family!
ReplyDeleteMy kids just started school this week too! It feels like summer is getting shorter and shorter. These are all great suggestions! We still have one family weekend camping trip to take at the end of the month and we are all looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteMy kids have two more weeks. I am kinda sad, this summer has gone by way too fast.
ReplyDeleteWe are so busy from now until the time school starts, that we won't have time for a back to school celebration. I would love to do something fun with the kids one last time.
These are some great family activities to end the summer with or even some after summer. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI´ve never seen this kind of portable beach umbrella base before. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love those zoo themed shirts - we are going this week and I must go and see what we can wear!!
