Memorial day is synonymous with the kick off of summer. Kids are winding down the school year and looking at the long holiday weekend to set the tone for summer vacation.
Many families are busy opening their cottages for summer or getting the boat tuned up for some aquatic adventures. Some take the extended weekend to visit family or use the opportunity for a relaxing getaway.
For those that can’t afford such luxuries, don’t worry, there is still fun to be had that won’t take you far from home. Below is a list of ideas to keep you and your kids entertained for the holiday weekend…..
- See a parade. Nothing says holiday like a march down Main Street. Check with you local Chamber of Commerce for events such as parades, free concerts or fireworks. That will give the kids something to look forward to without breaking the bank.
- Visit a local lake or swimming hole to cool off and have some fun. Of course, make sure your kids are dressed in the swimwear you found on LoobaLee. And, don’t forget the sunscreen!
- Have a barbecue. Have fun right in your backyard! Let the kids run through the sprinkler and invite the neighbors for some outdoor grilling. For a special treat, get out the marshmallows and skewers for a round of yummy s’mores.
- Go shopping. OK, I’m sure we don’t have to talk you into this one
! There are a lot of Memorial Day specials that will motivate you to spend this weekend. For those of you who would rather stay home than mix with the crowd, take advantage of online deals and free shipping this weekend. Check our Daily Jubilee for the current promotions and coupons. - Relax. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to sit on the deck (or your favorite chair) and enjoy the family. Whether your kids are little or not so little, they are truly a gift to be cherished!
However you choose to celebrate Memorial Day weekend, be mindful of all the men and women who served (and are currently serving) our great country allowing us the freedom and opportunities we are so lucky to be enjoying today.
Have a happy and safe weekend!
