Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer. Warm weather activities usually start this weekend and, in Idaho, go well into the fall.

Memorial Day can mean outdoor pools, baseball season and trips to the lake. So to start your summer off with a smile, we have picked 3 activities for summer enjoyment and fun that will make you feel like a child again!

• Play in the sprinklers – running through the sprinklers can be pure joy. Run with abandon and I’m sure it will make you smile.
• Visit the outdoor pool or spray park – Outdoor pools are great because you can get a tan and play in the water. Why not visit your local outdoor pool and slide down some water slides or start a game of Marco Polo with the neighborhood kids. You will leave the pool with a mega-watt smile on your face!
• Play a pick-up game of baseball or kickball – visit a local park on any summer weekend and you are guaranteed to find readers and loungers at the park soaking up the sun. Take some equipment and gather all those people to play a quick game. Set the winning score to 5 to keep the game short, sweet and super fun!

While this list is only a fraction of the fun you can have during the summer, all these activities could result in a day to remember. Don’t let your adult side dim the light of the carefree child in you. Embrace it and enjoy summer as an adult as much as you did as a child.
