I’m not gonna lie, I’m originally from Florida and my favorite season is SUMMER! I love the longer days, the sound of frogs at night, the starry summer nights and even the hot days. I think it should be shorts weather all year around – we get all four seasons where I live, but a girl can dream…
In honor, of all that is sunshine, and water play, this week I’ve rounded up over 40 ways to enjoy summer family fun. With umpteen ways to make slime, loads of water play, an adorable summer tepee that I want for my room and home made fudge-sicles, who wouldn’t want to browse this list of fabulous ideas? Plus I’ve thrown in some free printables for a tender bear hunt for littles and tips for camping.

This is an ultimate list – lots of crazy – long summer dazy ideas for cooking up big fun with your family. A special thanks to all the bloggers who are sharing their wonderful ideas.
