I thought it would be fun to create a summer “to do” list. While I may or may not do all of them, it would be nice to attempt to… Just to complete the list, I’m going to add contributions from the comments below, but in a different color that black.
- Horseback riding – My daughter has been asking for this one!
- Swimming – My In-Laws moved into a house that had a above ground pool. We’ve already been over once, and the kids had a ball (even though it was cold).
- Movies – Especially “The Last Airbender”
- Slip and Slide/Sprinklers – Water fun to key cool in the summer.
- Biking – At hilton head, and in parks where we live.
- Go-Cart Racing – We go to such a site that’s close to where we live.
- Golf – My son and I will do this at least once a month or more.
- Put-Put Golf – The entire family enjoys this.
- Waverunning – We enjoy this with friends every year.
- Boating – An old friend has one of these and the family goes out with them often.
- Water Skiing/Wakeboarding/Tubing – With the friend with the boat, the family does this too.
- Hilton Head – Yes, we will go down to the Island again this year.
- Amusement Parks – We will go to at least 2 amusement parks this year.
- Mini-biking – I would really like to have my son drive one of these this year. But I’m not sure where to get access to one.
- Weekend Vacation – We’ll at least have a few of these.
- Cabin Vacation – We enjoyed this last year, so we will do this again.
- Tennis – This is such great exercise.
- Guitar Playing – Wish I know how to play…
- Hiking up in Lake Tahoe – a ton of hiking!!!
- Myrtle Beach and Smoky Mountains – Sounds like a great combination!
- Lake Huron a few days each summer – as it is only about 70 miles away, and free.
- Science museums – That sounds interesting!
- Zoos– We love the Zoo!!!
- Super-soaker and water balloon fights
- Badminton – I haven’t done this in a long time.
- Four-square in our driveway – Sounds like a fun game
- Go to Traverse City in the summer for a long weekend
- Swimming in chilly Lake Michigan – Hmmm, that does sounds cold!
- Caribbean cruise – 7 day… very nice!!!
- Curling Bonspiels – I have no idea what this is :), but it sounds fun!
- Las Vegas – this sounds like a great trip!
- Brazos Bend Park – I’ll have to google this too, sounds interesting!
Different colored Item above match the contributors in the same color below (these are pulled from the comments section below):
What exciting and cool activities do you plan on doing this summer?
If they are different from my list above, I’ll add them and a link to your site.

Good list! I’m gonna go play a lot of tennis and guitar during this summer.
A ton of hikes up in Lake Tahoe as well should be fun!
@Financial Samurai
Nice additions, I think I’ll add your contributions to my post as a different color

I just booked a trip for this summer to Myrtle Beach and then over to the Smoky Mountains.
We always go over to Lake Huron a few days each summer as it is only about 70 miles away, and free.
We will also hit some science museums, zoos, have some super-soaker and water balloon fights, set up the badminton net, and play a lot of four-square in our driveway. Oh, we also go up to Traverse City in the summer for a long weekend. Nothing like climbing down a 440 foot sand dune down to chilly Lake Michigan for a little swim. The best part is watching all these young, fit people running up the dune past me, while sand flies in my face. 🙂
@Everyday Tips
Sounds like you have a great summer planned! Thanks for the additional items for my list!
I’m not familar iwth four-square, but I’ll google it 🙂
Money Reasons – you have never played four square? Oh my! So you have a grid of cement with four squares. My driveway is naturally made this way. (The squares are about 10×10). You use a playground ball and hit it into each other’s squares. You have an Ace, King, Queen and Jack. When Ace doesn’t return the ball correctly, everyone rotates up and Ace becomes Jack.
Sound familiar yet?
@Everyday Tips
I’m so sheltered… I never heard of it. It sounds like a it would have been fun if I played it.
I don’t think anyone in my neighborhood had a cement drive…
We are going on a 7 day Caribbean cruise this summer. Woot!
Future summer plans include attending Curling Bonspiels (tournaments) in other states, going to Las Vegas again, swimming more, visiting friends, and I’d like to see Brazos Bend Park more often.
Oh, and don’t feel bad…I had no idea what Four Square was either, lol. Now I want to play!
@Budgeting in the Fun Stuff
Thanks for the additions! 🙂
I think I’ll ask my kids if they know what Four Square is…
If not, I’ll teach them, now that I know…
