What to do during the summer holidays.

The summer holidays are very much in full swing which is why I came up with the idea of writing a post about what different things you could be doing during the six weeks of a much needed relaxation.
In England the summer is very unpredictable, one minute the weather will be really nice, sunny but not too hot then the next minute it's poring it down with rain. So it's really hard to plan anything when you can't even tell what the weather will be like. Therefore I am very jealous of anyone who lives in a country where you can guarantee sunny weather and some decent heat.
So here are a mixture of suggestions you can do with your friends and family during the summer holidays on a budget or not.

1- If you have finished school or college after months of hard work and a mountain of exams, the first thing to do is give yourself a sign of relief and just think it's all over. There is no more working out complicated equations or writing essays in till your hand gets cramp because that is officially done. You don't need to spend hours locked up in your room reading over and over the same book in till you know the whole story by heart. Nothing in that exam room can be changed so try not to stress or think about the results too much because you know you did the best you can do and no one can take that away from you.

2-Go to a museum or art gallery. This might sound really boring walking around looking at old stuff but most local museums are free and there might be something interesting you may just like. Even afterwards you and your friends could go into one of the cafes inside and sit with a coffee and have a good on natter. That way all you have spend is £4 at the most on a coffee and had a free look around something that might just surprise you.

3-Go to the park. There is nothing better than releasing your inner child and having a mad one at a park. This is another thing that you can go to for free and still have a good time. Have a ride on the swings, the slide and even the roundabout. Why not also take a picnic if the weather is kind to you. It doesn't have to be anything fancy just some sandwiches, crisps and of course CAKE!  

4-Have a baking session. This is one of my favourite things to do in the summer holidays. If you ask your parents nicely, see if you and your friends can borrow the kitchen baking some delicious cup cakes. Be really creative and go as colourful and decorative as you like. It's yummy and great fun at the same time.

5- Sleepover or slumber party if your from the states. I use to have these all the time when I was younger. My friends would take it in turns to host the sleepover and we would have great fun. We would eat loads of sweets and stay up all night watching movies and talking all through to the early hours. We would also play a game where one of us was blind folded and we would all hide and the person who can't see would have to try and find everyone.

I hope all these idea's help if your starting to get a bit bored and need something new and different and don't forget enjoy the summer while you can.
