What Is Your Favourite Thing To Do In Summer Vacation With Your Family

Not too long ago I was asked to write an article about my favorite thing to do with my family in the summer. I thought long and hard about it, but could not figure out what I liked to do best. My daughter will be turning two in a matter of weeks and my son is not far behind her.

My favourite place for family vacation with kids is Orlando. I love to stay there, because it is really a great destination for young and old children. I have visited Orlando with my family during several of our summer vacations and I am planning to visit there again this year. Anyway this place is too famous as well as beautiful place for family vacation. If your are planning a vacation with your children then you must have to consider Orlando in your budget for the trip.

As the temperature heats up, there’s nothing better than spending your vacations with your family and friends. You can swim or kayak at the beach. You can visit amusement parks or state fairs. You can join a community pool, swim in lake, or be on a boat. It doesn’t matter what you do because fun is its own reward. The most important thing is that you’re enjoying summer vacation with the people who love you most and providing opportunities to make memories that will last a lifetime. To help jumpstart your imagination, I’ve assembled an ever-expanding list of summer activities along with some ideas on how to create memories together.

I’d heard about what people did for summer vacations when I was a kid. I remember that a lot of families would travel to coastal towns and stay in hotels close to the beach. They would wake up early in the morning and walk the sandy boardwalk, while the kids would dart from one game stand to another, looking at all the fun stuff they had to offer. They would keep walking until they were far enough away from the hotel so that they could ride the propeller boats and take in the view. No electronics were needed; this was a simple time where you could give your kids your undivided attention as you soaked up some Vitamin D together.

When the weather heats up, it’s time to hit the road. Whether you’re escaping to the beach or a distant locale in your motor home, or just spending quality time at home, there are plenty of things to do with family during the summer. Traditional summer activities such as barbecuing, pool parties and fireworks are always popular. However, don’t let those same old activities keep you from trying something new this year. There are many cheap or free summer activities that are “off the beaten path,” so to speak. There is bound to be one activity at the top of your family vacationing list that fits this category. “Great! But what exactly is on our vacation list?”

What Is Your Favourite Thing To Do In Summer Vacation With Your Family

So, it’s summer vacation. That can be both a boon and a bane. It is a boon because you no longer have to stay up all night, burning the midnight oil. Also, you no longer have to write those endless, boring papers. But it is also a bane because you are not sure what to do with all your extra time. Well, fret no more, as I have the perfect solution for you!

Here are 7 things you can do during your summer vacations:

1. Restyle Your Room:

 Your room is probably the place where you spend most of your time, so why not make an effort and personalize it? You don’t really need to spend a bomb to do this. Here are a few pointers:

• Make a Powerpoint presentation of pictures of all your favourite books, movies, TV shows and bands. Take printouts of these and paste them like a collage on your wall.  
• You could also make a huge collage of old photographs and relive bitter-sweet memories every time you look at it.
• In fact, you don’t have to have great artistic abilities to revamp your room. If you can’t paint or draw, just buy stickers and wall decals to cover your cupboards and walls.
• Or you could just reorganize your room – arrange all the books by category and store all stationery neatly, in separate boxes.

Move around the furniture or try your hand at mirror painting – the point is, think of yourself as an artist and treat your room as your canvas.

2. Volunteer at an NGO:

The benefits of doing volunteer work in your free time are many-fold. Not only are you helping a needy person but you also learn valuable life skills like how to work in a team and how to take direction. Also, volunteering at an NGO doesn’t necessarily mean teaching kids how to read. You can find an NGO that deals with a cause close to your heart – it could be sports, dance, music, animal welfare – anything! NGOs like Parikrama and Child Rights Trust in Bangalore, are more than happy to offer you the opportunity to volunteer.

3. Form a Hobby Club With Your Relatives and Friends:

Summer vacation is the perfect time to catch up on reading and watching movies. Why don’t you form a reading club with your friends? You could all assign books to yourselves and pick a fixed time of the week, to discuss what happened in each of your books. If you find 5 friends to do this, it is like reading 5 books at the same time!

4. Start a Blog:

Blogging is not only therapeutic but is also a great way to create a network! And you can blog about anything – from maintaining a sort of journal of your thoughts to uploading quirky, unconventional pictures that you have clicked. To do a good job, spend some time researching about existing blogs on the topic and make sure you have a clear vision of how you want your blog to be. And of course, when you share your posts, lots of time goes in keeping track of those Facebook likes and shares.

5. Take up a Summer Job:

It is a great time for a person who has good people skills and a fair knowledge of English and the local language to take up summer jobs. This is because of the severe dearth of employability of the resource pool. So approach a barista near your place or a work as a local tourist guide. Sign up for these online sites, like timesjobs.com, that are recruiting for summer jobs. I’m sure you don’t need help coming up with ways on how to spend all the extra cash!

6. Learn a New Skill:

What have you always wanted to do? Well, what’s stopping you? Do it right now, during your summer break! You don’t need to join courses with hefty fees to acquire this knowledge – you could just rely on Youtube videos and other free, online courses and forums. Maybe by the time of your next summer break, you can pass on your knowledge and even start teaching these skills! Here are a few skills you could develop:

• Play an instrument
• Learn a foreign language
• Learn how to salsa
• Learn how to bake
• Learn about psychology

7. Family Time:

As you grow older, you start spending less and less time with your family. What is ironic is that, it is only as you grow older that you realize the importance of family life – by family we mean not just your parents and siblings, but your grandparents too! You might have to move away for studies or a job, so take some time out and plan a lunch with your mum, a game of TT with your dad or a picnic with your grandparents.
