15 Summer Activities



Summer hits Southern Utah and it really takes your breath away. In all true honest though, it becomes so hot here that it makes it hard to want to go outside and enjoy the summer weather. I am such an outdoors person though; I try and not the summer heat affect my desire to make plans. So, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite activities for summer and a few new ones that I can’t wait to try out.



GO ON A PICNIC

You can plan a simple picnic in your backyard with a couple sandwiches and some lemonade or do some fancy Italian themed picnic at a park. My favorite is a combination of both. Pick a park, big a large blanket, and grab some Café Rio.


PLAN A SCAVENGER HUNT

Scavenger hunts can be so much fun and with the summer heat, it a perfect way to combine the outdoors and the indoors into one activity.


READ IN A HAMMOCK

What a perfect way to spend a relaxing day then in a hammock, reading a new book.


PLAY LAWN TWISTER

Plan a game night, grab some friends, spray paint the twister board onto the lawn, and play.


VISIT DIFFERENT SWIMMING POOLS

I am sure you decide to go to the same swimming pool every single time you want to get a tan. Why not make a list of different pools in your area and visit them throughout the summer.


HAVE A WATER BALLON FIGHT

Make a run to your local Walmart or Target, grab a couple packages of water ballons, fill those babies up and place them in your laundry baskets. Divide your friends into two teams and have at it, or do it with your special someone to make things for interesting.


VISIT A FARMERS MARKET

I think a Local Farmer’s Market is a perfect way to start out the summer day. Buy a few things and then decided to make dinner with family, friends, or a special someone later.


STROLL A SUMMER FESTIVAL

Summer is a kick off of great festivals, most of them are free too. Why not spend your day strolling around a car show, a wild flower festival, or enjoy an evening with a summer concert. Plus, most festivals are going to have awesome food vendors.


TAKE A SPONTANEOUS TRIP

Call you friends, pack a bag, and hit the road. Maybe head to the beach, the mountain, or a city close by. It is always a recipe for a good time when you decide to randomly take a trip with your friends.


BUILD A WATER SLIDE

To have a waterslide in your back yard, you don’t have to spend all kinds of money. Why not just make one in your backyard; invite your  friends, family, and why you’re add it, invite the neighbors too.


HAVE A SQUIRT GUN FIGHT

Why not make it interesting and place the gun a note that you’re ready for war, could make for some really fun memories. If you don’t live with your special someone or can’t possibly think of soaking the house, plan a party with your friends for an afternoon of water game fun.


NIGHT SWIMMING

Because who know, it might just be you and your special someone there.





What are you ideas for some fun summer activities?
