Did you know that August is Family Fun Month? Neither did I! With so much happening with getting kids ready to head back to school in August, it can feel like summer break ended in July, and the fun ended right along with it. While travel season may be winding down, there are still plenty of ways to get in some family fun time this month, and celebrate Family Fun Month!

Take some day trips on weekends, such as:

River Tubing

Hiking

Trip to the zoo

Visit a local amusement park

Head to a museum

Ride the train to a neighboring city

Day trip to the beach or lake

Trip to the movies

Day trips not in the cards? Not to worry! 

You can plan fun activities to enjoy at home such as:

Pizza and a movie night

Boardgame night

Make your own sundae bar

Going out to dinner (kids choice)

Scavenger hunt at home

Kids cook dinner

Family talent show

Dance party in the living room

All of these are activities that my family enjoys doing together. Sometimes we rotate through this list and add in seasonal activities throughout the year. We'll soon be looking forward to going apple picking in the mountains- with a new baby in tow! Family fun doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. The point is spending time together and unplugging when it's possible.

What are some of your family's favorite activities?
