What should we do this summer?

Summer is an exciting time!
It is a time of freedom, warm weather, water, sunshine and lots of down time. Often time kids get bored and lets me honest mom needs a break outside of the house.

 Here is a list of 30+ activities
that can get you off the couch and out of the house almost every day of the summer.

Evergreen Park 
  1. Go to the Park
  2. Find a splash pad near by
  3. Seven Peaks water park (Purchasing a PASS OF ALL PASSES is an awesome idea! It is around $40 but it gets you a season pass to Seven Peaks Water Park, Tracy Aviary (on Tuesdays), Seven Peaks fun center, and much more.) 
  4. Tracy Aviary
  5. Liberty Park 
    • After going to the aviary in the morning head to Liberty park for lunch and playtime.  There is an awesome playground, splash pad, and a miniature version of the East Mountain canyon lands and rivers with running water. 
  6. Go to the library
  7. Hogle Zoo
    • Hogle Zoo
    • This summer 2015 they have an amazing dinosaur exhibit. Zoorassic Park 2! If you have not been yet! The dinosaurs are amazingly life like. 
  8. Boondocks
  9. Seven Peaks Fun Center
  10. Layton City Surf n' Swim 
  11. Herriman City Beach 
    • The Beach 
    • Wish you lived near a beach! This one is pretty awesome! 
  12. Go up the canyon on a Hike
    • Utah is one of the number one cities for hiking! 
  13. Park City Alpine Slide, Adventure Zone and Little Miners Park  
  14. Little Miners Park Airplanes
    • We did this last weekend and it was a blast! Eli had so much fun riding on the train, airplane and carousel.  For $20 you get an all day pass to ride any ride in the Little Miners Park and Adventure Zone.  Eli was just tall enough to ride the carnival rides and go mini golfing. It was still a fun time! For around $15 more you can buy unlimited rides on the alpine slide on coaster, if your child is tall enough. 
  15. Go to Snowbird
    • Snowbird is one of my favorite summer locations.  My family has a condo up there for a week.  There are so many activities for all ages. 
      • Go on a hike
      • Ride the tram
      • Walk the walking trail to the look out! 
      • Go to the top floor of the cliff lodge and look down at all the amazing rugs
      • Play on the alpine slide, coaster, and other rides. 
  16. Have your kids weed the yard! It is important to teach them hard work ethics! 
  17. City Creek Shopping and Splash pad! Don't forget the indoor dino playground for the little ones! Located inside the food court. 
  18. Go play at the Gateway Fountain
  19. Head up Milcreek Canyon and have a picnic
  20. Explore Timpanogus Cave 
  21. Go to the local pool
    • There are dozens of local pools that only cost a few dollars.  I love cottonwood heights and Murray city park. 
  22. Explore Discovery Gateway
    • Talk about a fun indoor activity area for Toddlers and Young kids! It is also so reasonably priced.  You can buy a season pass and pay for it monthly! For 3 people it is only $8 a month!
