Summer Family Activities Ideas

+ Pool Time Galore +

With those super hot Texas summers, what better way to cool off than spending quality time in our backyard pool? Whether you have a pool, a neighborhood pool, a local YMCA, or even a lake or river that you can dip into, make time for the family to splash, swim, and play water games. Don’t forget the pool floats and water toys to keep the fun going!

+ Trampoline Fun +

Our kiddos have hours of fun on the trampoline! Let your kids bounce to their heart’s content or even just have a fun hangout spot where they can make forts and have tea parties.

+ Tumble Mat +

For an extra splash of excitement, set up a tumble mat near the pool and let them use as a slip and slide or float. We are obsessed with ours!

+ Fun Floats and Rafts +

We love to make our pool feel like a water park of its very own! You could also use certain floats in inflatable pools or with a slip and slide! Get creative and bring all of the colorful summer fun!

+ Glowing Nighttime Fun +

Extend the summer fun into the evening with light-up balls and toys. Have a glow-in-the-dark treasure hunt or play a friendly game of catch under the starlit sky. These luminous activities will make your long summer nights stretch out even longer!

+ Backyard Fun +

Transform your backyard into a summer paradise with a wide range of toys and games. From classic outdoor favorites like Frisbee and hula hoops to more adventurous options like a mini obstacle course or even a homemade slip ‘n slide, the possibilities for endless family fun are endless!

+ Sporty Fun +

Get your kids moving with exciting sports activities. Set up a mini soccer or basketball tournament, have a fun game of badminton, or challenge each other to a round of mini golf. Sports together as a family can be a lot of fun and a great way to connect with one another.

+ Family Hikes +

Lace up those hiking boots and hit the trails! Explore the beauty of nature together as a family. From local parks to national forests, there’s always a scenic trail waiting to be conquered. Encourage your kids to spot wildlife, collect interesting rocks or leaves, and breathe in the fresh summer air. You could even work on a nature journal together!

+ Backyard Campouts and Bonfires +

Pitch a tent in your own backyard and have a memorable camping adventure. Gather around the flickering bonfire, roast marshmallows, and share stories under the starry sky. Camping at home offers the perfect blend of adventure and comfort, allowing you to create special moments together.

+ Traveling Tales +

If you’re craving a change of scenery, hit the road on a family trip! You can drive or fly, or even make a day trip to a theme park.
