Summer Fun!

Looking for fun Summer activities? Here are a few ideas…

Summer Bucket List from Better Homes & Gardens

24 Must-Do Activities to Put on Your Summer Bucket List

Celebrate summer with this warm-weather checklist. Everything on this list can be done while spending time with your family!

1. Make Ice Pops

There’s nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than a delicious frozen treat. And luckily, they’re easy enough to make at home. Whip up a batch of Aperol Spritz Pops for a grown-up soiree, or help the kids freeze their own scrumptious smoothie pops.

2. See a Drive-In Movie

Because many in-person movie theaters are currently closed due to the pandemic, drive-in movie theaters are seeing a resurgence right now. Find a drive-in theater near you, pack the car full of popcorn and snacks, and enjoy a safe family outing this summer. If there’s not a theater near you, consider setting up an outdoor movie screen in your backyard instead!

3. Watch Fireworks

There’s nothing more traditional than watching a fireworks show on the Fourth of July. In fact, there have been fireworks on every Fourth of July since 1777—the year after the Declaration of Independence was signed. While your viewing party may have to be virtual this year, you can still catch a great summer fireworks show.
