THE KIDS OF SUMMER FAMILY FUN MONTH
Summer is a great time to get outdoors and take advantage of the fabulous weather with my children running wild and free. EVERYONE loves summer evenings with a Froozer refreshing frozen fruit snack. Since the month of August is FAMILY FUN MONTH, it is the opportune time to enjoy family with extra fun and activities.
Thanks to Froozer for sponsoring this post!
When I was a kid we would spend our days at the local swimming pool and the evenings running around the streets of rural Iowa playing hide and seek. Some evenings we could be found simply catching lightning bugs (and yes, I say lightning bugs versus fireflies) all night long and then let them go in the morning.
Regardless of what activity my friends and I were enjoying, every mother handed out sweet summer frozen treats. Every neighborhood, every street, every home, every mom . . . we all always enjoyed some kind of cold relief from the blazing hot Iowa sun. Everyone was running about with either orange, blue or red lips and streaks down our arms and legs as well.
WHAT IS FROOZER?
Froozer is a great tasting frozen snack made with 100% natural ingredients. I feel like I have finally found an All Natural and Dairy-free, healthy frozen snack that I can give my kids this summer and not feel bad. Froozer Frozen Fruit Snacks have all the goodness and great taste of ripe fruits, with no added sugar, juice or concentrate!
Plus, Froozer Frozen Fruit Snacks are vegan, kosher certified, non-GMO certified, preservative-free, and low calorie. I really bought these summer frozen treats for my kiddos, but I keep seeing my husband eating away on them every night too!
FAMILY FUN MONTH
Since August is the month of Family Fun, we decided to create family activities using our imagination (well, really, our kids imaginations, because let's face it, kids are so much better at fun than adults), and spend time together and more importantly - - have fun together before all the hustle of schedules begins again for the school term.
For our first family fun activity, we all went rollerblading / skateboarding at the local skate park. I brought along the hula hoops for good measure as well (and secretly these were my way out of skating ☺). My kids obviously had a good laugh at my expense, but I enjoyed myself immensely as I didn't have to fold the laundry that night! We have a full month of fun planned for our family and I can't wait to get started.
Here are some of the other activities that are on our list for August's Family Fun Month:

A Healthy Frozen Snack!
I don't know about you, but I struggle with locating a treat for my kiddos that is super tasty AND made with real fruit AND one they ask for that I don't mind saying YES?! Froozer Frozen Fruit Snacks are made with real fruit and that is all! That's it - just fruit! No joke! Each of these frozen fruit snacks is around 40 calories and available in delicious flavors like strawberry, mango, raspberry, blueberry and orange. Our family favorite is mango tango, but seriously, they are all super tasty.
Summer is squeezing the fun out of every single second of the day with beach days, carnivals and so much more. What are your favorite snacks and things to do in the summer with your kids? What is on your Family Fun Month of activities this August? I’d love to know what’s on your list so I can add to mine!!
