Family Friendly Activities

If your summer of family togetherness has turned into protests of boredom, eye-rolling and fighting, you might just need to mix it up a bit. 

Here are three fun and unique activities to turns "I am bored" to "That was fun".

Play in the Park. Grab the gang and head to Warner Center Park, Serrania Park, or the Woodland Recreation Center located near your Woodland Hills apartment for a game of kick ball, kick the can, bocce, or capture the flag.

Volunteering is quality time squared: you get to spend the day with your kids and they join the joy of helping others. You can have them donate their old toys or clothing, or help transport produce from the area farmers' markets to the homeless.

Make a time capsule. This is a fun way to celebrate your family.  Have each family member decorate a box and place personal items in the box.  Kids can also write a letter or poem.  Plan a date that you will open the box together.

Get cooking!  Let the kids choose what they would like to cook, plan the recipe, shop, cook and serve their favorite dish.  From cookies, to bread, or even an entire meal, cooking with your kids is a fun and educational way to spend the day.

These three family friendly activities are a great way to spend quality family time this summer.
