Its that time of year, or soon to be and you need a plan. The last thing you want to experience this summer is fun or brain drain. A relaxing summertime packed with fun and stimulating activities the entire family can both enjoy and participate in are the main ingredients for any memorable family summer.
A big vacation is great and yet only fills a very small chunk of the summer. You have long weekends of childhood memories to build, or you could opt out of one big vacation by adding lots of family fun throughout the entire summer.
Ah yes summertime, you first want to consider all the various childhood memories and traditions you can pass down from your own childhood. This form of bonding is the best gift you can give your family any summer

What's The Funnest Summer Activity You've Ever Shared With Your Family
Tolovaj, I like the simple summer family fun activities too. I love both summer and family. Good TImes :) K
Hard to say, I believe most fun activities in the summer were outdoors and they were pretty simple like a picnic, or ball games and so on. I don't have a need to 'go somewhere' to have good fun. Best fun for me is to grab some free time and spend it with a family and maybe with an addition of some friends...
Thanks for the list, I'll check it, summer finally arrived in Slovenia:)
Marko, Ewww all great ideas, thanks for sharing your family fun adventures with your son. It's wonderful to hear from parents who've built fond childhood memories. Thanks and Enjoy another great family summer packed with good times building new memories.
I agree, Katie, it's important to spend as much free time as possible with our family. And if you had fun at that time in the past, kids will definitely like to join you even when they grow up. I am lucky to have such experience with my son - he is a teenager now, but he still likes to go sometimes with me and my wife to do some activities (badminton, fishing or wind surfing).
About the funnest summer activity - well, there were plenty as my son loved and still does) radio controlled scale models (boats, planes, helicopters). You can imagine how many times I was climbing the trees to get small planes which were 'landing' there (OK, I admit - I also was a lousy pilot, too!).
Pinkchic18, Great enjoy your summer packed with fun things to do :)
Summer is my favorite time of the year, there is so many fun things to do and the weather is (most of the time) cooperative! I love your ideas here, and we'll definitely be doing these when summer finally makes its appearance :)
flowski, Me too, its great to search for buried treasure with family. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
I love prospecting with metal detectors. I agree, it's a fun activity for families to do.
Miaden, Its getting into the 80's here in Ohio today on this the first day of spring. I love warm weather, watching things grow and occupy the great outdoors. Camping is a big favorite for many, I prefer to get a cabin, with a fireplace and all the creature comforts... :)
Oh, summer is coming indeed. We are out of the winter for 10 days, and it is cosy 20+ degrees of Celsius outside. And I am already making plans for spring and summer time. Thank you for these great ideas, and I have to say I will stick to good old camping, camp fire and marshmellows. :)
