1. Go swim in a lake.
Check around and see if there are any lakes nearby where you can swim with your kids. Most of them are free, or at least only make you pay a couple dollars for parking.
2. Head to the zoo.
This one may be a better activity for a cooler summer day, as animals, like people, tend to be slower and lazier during the hottest days of the summer.
3. Float a river.
Pull out the old inner tubes, rafts, and canoes and head out into nature for a day!
4. Enjoy a walk through a greenhouse or city garden.
It is always fun to do a little window shopping for your home garden.
5. Go to the drive-in.
There aren't many drive-ins open around the nation anymore, so head out on an adventure to find one and have a blast from the past!
6. Go dancing.
Dancing is a great way to have fun, meet new people, and even get the tiniest bit of a workout! Speaking of which...
7. Try a new workout regimen.
Working out keeps you happy and healthy, and it's important to vary your workout routine. Switch it up by trying running, yoga, zumba, swimming, biking--you name it!
8. Go adventure dining.
Okay, so food is something that is VERY important to me, and I love trying new foods, especially at hole-in-the-wall kind of restaurants. As an alternative, try a new recipe when cooking at home.
9. Go to an outdoor concert.
Concerts in the park are fun, relaxing, and usually free. Need I say more?
10. Learn a new skill.
From painting to playing an instrument, there are so many fun new skills to try. Look up a YouTube tutorial and go for it!
