The next giveaway is from Blue Yonder Ranch, creators of the sweet monthly e-book Book of Days. I’ve been receiving these monthly installments for the past few months, and they’ve been a joy to read and explore!
Book of Days is a simple way for your family to slow down and spend some time having fun together. With this monthly download you’ll make some science magic, cook up a little fun in the kitchen, create something new, explore the natural world, and so much more.
It’s a fun book to print and scribble in alongside the adorable pencil drawings, and it’s full of ideas, crafts, and recipes to create as a family. In essence, it’s full of ideas you want to do but just don’t have the time to think up.

beach trips!
Those humid nights catching lightning bugs in mason jars. Slipping inside to the cool air to watch them twinkle then releasing them once again into the summer skies.
Olivia @ Moomama´s last blog post…Felt Giveaway from thedotdesigns!
I love going to the city park with a picnic to watch the Independence Day fireworks.
My son and I love to stay at the local pool until closing time, 9:00 or 10:00 depending on the night, but definitely after the sun has set. There’s nothing nicer than swimming in a pool after dark with the soft glow of the underwater lights casting their cozy glow.

Our favourite summer activity is to head up to the family cottage and enjoy swimming in the lake and BBQ’s with family.
camping in the backyard
There are two things we love doing as a family camping and spending time at the cottage. There’s nothing like spending time away from the comfort of home and reconnecting as a family!

tabitha´s last blog post…Broadening My Horizons
We love to make ice cream in zip loc bags. It requires a lot of shaking, so we have a family dance party during that part.
We grew up in northern ontario surrounded by lakes. Favorite activity? Swimming!
We now live in southern ontario and a little too far from the lake to go on a daily basis.
Praise the Lord for parents
They bought a house wht an inground pool so my sister and I and our littles hang out there a couple afternoons a week. BBQ and swimming…and throw in a bag of Doritos! Yum!
We love to go swimming together, garden, run through the sprinkler and visit Grandma. This looks like it would be a great addition! Thank you for the giveaways.
I love to turn on the sprinkler with little tubs of water around it. The tubs fill up and the kids can play in their own little mini pools that don’t get all gross without the chlorine. If they dump them over, they fill right back up! Add some shaving cream, little cups, wash rags, squirt bottles, and tempra paint and it’s a great messy fun time with clean-up built right in!
Camping is definitely our favorite summer family activity. However, I also love summers because my husband is around (he’s a teacher) to spend more time with me and the kiddos. Only 5 more days of school. YAHOO!
Berry picking!
Living on the west coast gives us the great privilege of heading to the beach & throwing rocks in the water for hours on end.
gardening and bug catching.
I love taking the kids to the park and watching them play. It’s fun to live vicariously through the eyes of a 2 and 3 yr old!!
Michelle Meyer´s last blog post…And this is what it is like to have girls…
My husband’s work has a summer schedule that allows him to be off on Friday afternoons. We like just having him around and usually go do something fun outdoors.

Our most memorable family summertime activity is our front-row-seat with popcorn whenever a big thunderstorm rolls in. We even wake the kids up for it, if it’s a good one!
Our favorite family summer activity is an after-dinner walk to the ice cream shop.
Swimming, followed by a picnic or a cookup on the beach!
Thanks!
Alison
Family Reunions. We head to NH every year for a week with my side of the family, which is fun and familiar, very much steeped in tradition. Every three years we get together with my husband’s family and head off to a new and different place. It is a wonderful time to explore, reconnect, get to know each other again. Both of these reunions have so much meaning for our family, as we strengthen these bonds.
Fun! I love going to the zoo with the kids. It never gets old.
We like to go to the coast a lot in the summer. It’s really hot here in Central CA, and we head out to the coast for a break from the heat!
Camping on the beach!
Oh I would love to win this one!! Thank you for the chance. Our favorite summer activity is to have beach days where we relax on the sand and run around in the water!
Our favorite activity is picnicking–anywhere, anytime.
Going to the beach and enjoying the surf,sand, and sun.
Swimming and cooking out (does that count as an activity?)

Our favorite family time has to be days spent at the beach since we live a few minutes away. We pack up all of our goodies including lunch! We love hunting for shells and cool rocks.

BBQ with friends.
I think that one of my favorite summer activities is playing outside with the kids when the fireflies are out. It’s so pretty, and I love the way the kids just squeal in delight.
i would love a summer of fun ideas. sign me up for the give away…
Swimming and the Beach!
Lazy days enjoying our yard, swimming pool and sandbox! And a trip to the lake with the boat. Summer goes too fast!
We love traipsing around through Golden Gate Park and spending time watching the waves at Ocean Beach!
Reading. . . and whatever other fun things strike our fancy!
Being outside in the garden is my favorite by far!
Our little family just loves to be outside (as long as there aren’t mosquitoes!).
Beach, definitely the beach!
Swimming and going for walks / to park or playgrounds.
I love summer because my family loves to spend time outdoors at sprinkler parks, swim parks, feeding the ducks, going to the lake, concerts in the park, it doesn’t matter what we do as long as we do it together. So, I guess my favorite summer activity would be spending time as a family doing all things fun!
The beach, being able to play outside after dinner and it’s still light, picnics, basically anything outdoors!
Michelle´s last blog post…I look a bit better
Swimming and bike riding if it’s not too hot

Our yearly extended family beach trip. The kids get together with their cousins, and I get to spend time with my husband’s family. We all stay up late playing games and watching movies with quiet early morning walks on the beach with all the people we love!
We love camping, sleeping in tents and cooking oven an open fire, although it doesn’t happen often enough!
