As summer 2017 approaches, people are getting ready for graduations and moving home and spending time with friends and family. If the summer boredom hits you like a truck like it always does to me, here are some activities that will keep the boredom at bay.

1. Mini Golf

Of course mini golf! Duh! Spend a nice afternoon with friends getting super competitive and then off to get ice cream to end the day. You could even plan a bonfire after!

2. Batting Cages

I mean who doesn't love to hit some balls around? Gives you a good workout and gives you an opportunity to work of some steam from working all week.

3. Amusement Parks

WHO DOESN'T LOVE AMUSEMENT PARKS! Ride roller coasters and you can cool off in the water if they offer a water park, get a nice tan and make some of the best memories of your life.

4. Go camping

I mean if you want to go to go to a state park or just pitch a tent in the back yard, just spend some time outside. Unplug, turn your phone off, build a fire and roast marshmellos. Grab a guitar for the more musically inclined and sing a little. Appreciate the people in your life and make some memories with your best friends.

5. Go Kayaking

Spend a day on the water, take pictures, stop and have a picnic and work on that fabulous tan. Just float your happy little butt down the river and relax. After all. you earned it working all week.
