Midsummer Activities

Solitary Activities

Go to a theme park, a zoo, or maybe a lake and just be lazy. This is a great day for being lazy.
Have a private ritual and meditate on the power of the sun.
If you see a homeless person when out and about, offer to buy them a Gatorade, it will re-hydrate them and at the same time give their body some essential nutrients. Many homeless people live off of liquer and beer, neither of which are very healthy. It's a kind gesture to offer them something different.
Try getting rid of the bad things in your life (ex. bad attitude, sickness, etc.)

Although Midsummer is not an "official" fire festival, bonfires are still a traditional occurance, so have a bonfire and bring lots of goodies to share with your friends. (Don't forget the marshmallows!!)
Have a pool party!!
Do a ritual together at noon, at the height of the Sun's power.
Go to a Rennaissance Faire.
Relax!!

Summer is the time when kids get done with school. At least until September. Make time to have fun with your kids relaxing and playing together.

Make Midsummer Wreaths
Take a family vacation somewhere fun!
Read stories about summertime. The Meagan Stories
Go swimming at a nearby lake.
Take your children to a Renaissance Faire. They're fun, with lots of food, colorful costums and activities for all to enjoy. (My son really enjoyed the jousting tournaments last year. For $1, some places even have the kids 12 and under get a chance to whack a knight.)
Remember to always answer your child's questions simply and honestly. They will lead you in what it is they want to know and when.
