"Spending quality time with your children is always the right decision."
-Poppy Sparkles
Parents want to spend time with their children, creating lasting memories well into their child’s adulthood. I am always looking for fun things to do with my daughter Julia (20) and my son Dylan (22). You don’t have to limit yourself to doing these things only with your kids, feel free to do them with your significant other or a friend too!
I hope that you find something different to do that will help you make memories you can share with your loved ones forever.
15 Memory-Making Activities
- Paint rocks and then leave them out in public for a stranger to find. (My daughter and I did this and it was very fun!)
- Read aloud together. A book that you have both been wanting to read.
- Wake up early and watch the the sunrise together.
- Bring your favorite board game to a coffee shop.
- Plan and cook a meal together.
- Go to a karaoke or trivia night at a local restaurant.
7. Put a bunch of blankets and pillows on the grass in the backyard and stargaze.
8. Go see their favorite musician play in concert. (I went with my kids last month to a music festival that featured their favorite artists. It was a great weekend and we made a lot of wonderful memories!)
9. Do something that scares you together. A haunted house, roller coaster, ziplining, etc… ( I have gone to a haunted house with my kids the last two years. It was scary, but a lot of fun!)
10. Go camping.
11. Throw a spur of the moment party, just for fun.
12. Dress up and go to the symphony or opera.
13. Have a picnic together somewhere pretty.
14. Sign up for a course or workshop together.
15. On a rainy day, have a movie marathon.
As parents, we will never regret the time that we spend with our children. Spending quality time together with our children and other loved ones is difficult, because of the many distractions we have to contend with these days. I hope that these fun activities help you to make some wonderful memories with the people you love!
