Great Labor Day Ideas

It's the first major holiday since school has been back in session - so why not make it a memorable one? We're certain your kids are suffering from the back-to-school doldrums following their extended summer stay. The three-day weekend means you'll have plenty of time to rejuvenate. Hopefully, you're already getting a break from the extreme summer heat. {relatedarticles}With the temperatures becoming more bearable, that means you could celebrate the holiday with some kid-friendly activities. If you're close to the ocean, plan for a picnic on the beach. Spend the final days of summer enjoying some fun in the sun. If the beach is too far out of reach, settle for a local park for a barbecue. Bring your bikes, balls or any other equipment for your family to enjoy.
For a real family adventure, enjoy the great outdoors with a camping trip at a state park or beach. Feeling kind of festive? Take in a local parade or festival centered around the Labor Day holiday. For rainy days, take in the hottest movies for the holiday. Schedule a trip to an ice skating or roller skating rink to keep the kids busy. {relatedarticles}You might also consider the local museums or even the library. Check with the chamber of commerce to learn about any special activities that are being offered for Labor Day. To keep it simpler, why not have a sleepover at your house or a barbecue for your closest adult friends and their children? Just remember Labor Day shouldn't mean more work - so look for activities that will be fun for you as well as your family.
