While this summer may look different than any we’ve experienced, there is still plenty of fun stuff to keep all members of the family busy. We’ve searched far and wide – on the internet, of course – to bring you some great ideas.
RV’ing It
We’ve come across more than one article that claims it’s the Summer of the RV. With new high-end amenities and comfort, as well as the allure of more control over your personal space, a road trip RV-style just might be a perfect idea.
Splash Pads Rule!
The heat has definitely arrived and if you don’t have a pool – or are just looking for a change of scenery – splash pads are the way to go! Chandler splash pads have opened at Chandler Fashion Center, Chuparosa, Desert Breeze, and Espee Parks. Make an afternoon of it with some cool and easy snacks like watermelon spears – just don’t forget the hats and sunscreen!
Cool Staycations
A longtime family favorite, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is back with fabulous staycation options! Enjoy their water slides, sparkling pools, great restaurants, rooms and amenities along with 40% off the best daily rate with waived resort fees through the end of June for Arizona residents.
