Activity to do on the weekend with the family
Saturday is family day for many people. We either have a ton of things to do or we have nothing to do at all. For those days when we don't have anything planned, it helps to have some ideas so we can enjoy some time together.Organized family stays
Your Saturday may be similar. If so, I have just the thing for you. I've created a list of 101 family activities that you can do on Saturday, Sunday, or any other day of the week.
This list is especially handy for those days when you have nothing planned, and don't know what to do. Just pick something from the list and enjoy it together! All the activities are for all members of the family, young and old!
