Have you done any on this list? As a family, we have done lots of these and there are more that I definitely want to try! A great summer activity that really wears the kids out and is different is the wakeboard park in Allen. There is also one in Lewisville too. This is one you need to check out with your kids. They offer day camps all summer long! It’s great for kids of all ages and even beginners. It’s one my kids really love and they’ve gotten several friends to try it out too!
