Around this time every year, I usually list some fun summer activities for families with kids. Why should kids have all the fun? Here are some fun ideas you older-and-wiser friends to brighten your summer!
- Take a water aerobics class – try to find one outdoors now that the weather is nice.
- See a movie at a drive-in theater.
- Outdoor tai chi or yoga classes.
- Be a tourist in your own city – take an open-air bus excursion with a friend.
- Go for ice cream just because – no special occasion required!
- Make homemade popsicles with the neighborhood kids.
