Every summer the kids get out of school and there is a week of bliss. Everyone is sleeping in, staying up late having movie nights, and laughing non stop. Then reality sets in. The adorable laughter and squealing kids suddenly transforms into screaming and the infamous “I’m bored”. Yes…. every mother’s dream, to listen to her kids say “I’m bored” more times than there are seconds in a minute. Sometimes during these times it’s easy to overlook simple ideas of entertainment. One of my favorite things to do in the summer when my kids are starting to get stir crazy is to heat outside and eat in the back yard. You don’t have to go buckle anyone in the car, you don’t have to pack anything up, and most importantly…. there’s nothing to forget. All you need to grab is a little Banana Boat® Sunscreen!
I love to pull out the picnic blanket and make it fun for them. Sometimes I bring everything out on a tray and really try and make it exciting. We often pretend it’s an outdoor restaurant…. it’s amazing how fun that makes it for them! My favorite thing to do is grill burgers, but a pb & j works just as well and they really only care about all the fruit and snack food anyways.
As a mom I do know there are some things that have to be done even just heading out to the backyard. My kids just so happen to burn every time they are exposed to the sun, so it’s very important for me to not only prepare for the immediate result of sun exposure, but also to make sure I’m protecting my little babies long term! My kids love the Banana Boat® Clear UltraMist™ rather than the traditional lotion (which I actually prefer), so I get that for them. It’s tear free, but my youngest just can’t quite get the hang of being sprayed down so I use the little facial sticks for him and it’s much easier! Although we have found that singing a song makes it less traumatic for him and more fun for us! : )
Since each person is different we often have lots of choices for sunscreen in our house. My husband sweats pretty easily when it’s hot outside so he always wants the ones rated for sports. I mean chasing kids around the backyard counts as a sport right? It’s also nice to keep the Banana Boat® Sport Performance Cool Zone™ handy for all those soccer games!
No matter the occasion, swimming, sports, hanging around outside, going on walks, or playing at the beach, we are protected from the sun short term and long term with our Banana Boat® products!
What is your favorite type of sunscreen? Are you a lotion person or a clear mist person?

Thank you for this! I know it’s over two years old, but I’ve just started really experimenting with restaurants in my game. The problem: everyone has a guide on how to build a restaurant, or how to run it, but there are very few guides on how to simply go to a restaurant as a customer and dine! Thank you for this concise and informative guide!Christini’s take out

Your experience is valuable, thanks for sharing. I also have a couple of life hacks with which you can lure not only children, but also adults for a long time. Just try sorting hat quiz

We love sports events and often find tickets for us at https://www.koobit.com/
My kids are a little older, so it’s often basketball, after that we go to eat in a cafe or walk in the park

Thank you for this article, it was very helpful to read about how children and adults can spend their time during the summer. By the way, I am also one of those parents who think that playing computer games is not so bad, because many of them are even good for children. My son has long played Counter-Strike and thanks to this game has become much more patient
Ronda Lewis says
I agree with the comment above. Spending time outdoors with the family is great, but computer games also do a lot of good. My oldest son has even found a way to make money from it, he bets on the game at https://ggbet5.com/en/counter-strike/ and he’s doing great. This way, he not only has fun for himself, but also financially helps his family and so everyone is happy.
