When you were a kid, did your parent or parents take you out for one great experience after another? If so, do you look back on those times with fond memories?

With you a parent now, what are you doing to give your children experiences they will remember for years to come?

There are a myriad of things you can do to make your child’s smile grow even bigger. From day trips to going on a family vacation, think about what would make your child happy.

So, will you give your kids and experience to remember?

Start Making Those Plans

When you are contemplating ideas in entertaining your child, consider these possibilities:

1. Theme park attractions – What child would not like spending a day or more at a theme park? One possibility soon is heading off to Star Wars Land at Disneyland. With excitement on the recent movie, will your kid experience the Star Wars universe? You also have other attractions at Disneyland or if headed to the other coast to see Disney World. If your child has plenty of energy, he or she will have a blast doing a day or more at one of these or other venues.

2. Day at the beach – Whether the beach is nearby or you have a bit of a drive, taking your children can be a win-win for all. For you, the beach will more times than not occupy your child. He or she will have many different things to do. For you, don’t you want some relaxation from your hectic schedule? You can oftentimes find it sitting back in a chair with your feet in the sand. As in anytime you have children around water, be sure to keep an eye on them. That said it could be a trip to the beach that sees your child fall in love with the water. As such, they may want to learn how to surf, sail or do other things related to the ocean for years to come.

3. Heading off to the mountains – There is much beauty to appreciate when one heads off to the mountains. With that in mind, you might think about a weekend camping trip for the family. In doing so, you can teach your child how to live off the land. You never know, you might in fact turn your young one into thinking about being a future Boy Scout or Girl Scout.

4. Taking in a sporting event – Last, many kids can end up at ballparks, stadiums and arenas on a daily basis. With that being the case, would your child enjoy going to see a ballgame? He or she might very well become a fan of one or more sports and teams for that matter. They might even get to meet a player or two and end up with their autograph. Although some see sports being too commercialized, that doesn’t stop many from showing up to see a game etc.
