The official summer season is just around the corner and it's a great time for families to spend quality time together. Even if this isn't the year for you to take a trip together, there are still many activities you can enjoy right at home in your own backyard.

5 Ideas for Backyard Summertime Fun

1. Plant a summer garden. If you haven't started yet it's not too late to start a little summer garden with your child. It is so wonderful to see how interested kids becoming in eating fruits and veggies when they grow them. Pick easy quick growing thing such as lettuces, radishes, and peas or beans. Do grow a tomato plant too if you can. They are so delicious ripe off the vine.

2. Make a reading spot in your backyard. Pick a nice shady spot and set up some comfy seating or throw down some old quilts or blankets. Take a little snack. Make it a daily destination and get those summer reading challenges done in record time. Plan a family read-aloud for the cooler summer nights.

3. Set up a picnic table and chairs underneath a big shade tree or umbrella. Put together a basket of board games the family would like to learn or has enjoyed in the past. Take the games outside and enjoy the fresh air while you play one of your favorite board games.

4. Camp in your own backyard: Your family may enjoy camping out but circumstances simply forbid you from taking a camping trip. Don't let circumstances stop you! Pitch your tent in the backyard and enjoy the same fun just a little closer to home.

5. What's summer fun without water play? My daughter LOVES hanging out in the yard when the sprinklers come on but how much more fun would a water slide be? H2OGO! is a water slide featuring a patent-pending Speed Rampâ„¢, a tough, inflatable launch pad that creates a smooth landing while propelling riders headfirst into a super-fast ride down the 18-foot slide.

Want to know more about H2OGO! ? It also features a Splash Lagoon beneath the Speed Rampâ„¢ to create a drenching good takeoff and funnel water throughout the entire slide, reducing friction and increasing speed as riders skim their way through a gushing cascade toward the final deluge in the drench pool.undefined

Easy to set up in just minutes, the H2OGO! Water Slide comes in a single, double and triple model, adding a new level of interactive outdoor fun by allowing kids to compete against their friends for the title of neighborhood champion, while keeping cool all summer long.

H2OGO! Water Slides are available at Toys R’Us, Amazon.com, Target.com and Walmart.com

  59. I’m sure the kids and dogs (and maybe even the adults!) would have fun with this. Maybe have unofficial competitions for best slide, most awkward slide, longest slide, shortest slide, etc.?

  60. I would set it up as part of an obstacle course, or incorporate it into a cornhole game – like making the loser go down the slide fully dressed! There’s really a lot of games you could set up with this.

  61. I have three young children who are very shy. I see the H20Go as a wonderful ice breaker for them to make new friends in the neighborhood this summer. I envision a fun block party for the kids to have a blast while escaping the Florida summer heat. It would be great set up in our front yard so that everyone could enjoy an afternoon of fun and hopefully build new friendships! Happy Summer.

  62. This would be perfect for an all girls fun day! My Grand-daughter would love having her BFF’s over to spend the day, enjoying the sun!

  63. During the summer our family spends all of our spare time outside. This would be great to add to the fun, our backyard seems to be the hangout for all the neighborhood kids.

  65. i would give it to my grandson for his birthday on july 3rd for his birthday/4th july party ,,i am sure all the kids would love it

  67. RELAY RACES, WITH THE WATER SLIDE BEING THE FINISH LINE. WE HAVE A SINGLE LANE SLIDE, BUT THIS WOULD BE AN AWESOME ADDITION. NO FIGHTING OVER WHO GOES FIRST 🙂

  69. I could see our daughter and doggie running like mad in that!
    Good excerise +good sleep for both of them 😉

  71. This looks so cool! We would probably set it up in our backyard (or front yard, since that’s where we do most of our get-togethers, plus the front yard has a great slope) and let the kids play while the grownups talk and eat bbq food :).
