Sometimes you might run out of things to do during the summer. Instead of driving your family crazy, here are some great things to do:
- Go to the beach
- Do crafts – go to www.michaels.com and join “The Knack” for craft ideas
- Make chin movies – decorate your chin but make sure it’s upside down, lay down on a dark surface, grab a video camera to video tape your show! When taping make sure you don’t show the rest of your face – just your chin and mouth. It’s really fun!
- Make homemade popsicles – take your favorite juice, a plastic cup and a popsicle stick. Pour the juice into the cup, add a popsicle stick and freeze. My mom and I tried this with coke and made a coke slushy. It was really YUMMY!
- Play freeze dance with your friends
- Brain teaser – Make your own maze on paper and swap with a friend
Stay tuned for more Hip Kids boredom busters!

Hello!
If you have a pet, it’s time for it to have fun! Send me a picture or a story about what you and your pet did this summer and I will post it on my Pet Gallery Page.
- Your pet can also have summer fun – just not only you!
- Both of you can have fun – just make sure your pet is ok with what you are doing
- Make sure you give your pet lots of food and water because they get thirsty too when it’s hot
- The thing that I said on the top you see, make sure you really do have a pet. PS can you tell me how old it is and what type of pet? And make sure I know your age too!
Here is my pet Guinea Pig Chris!
By the way, on Disney Channel watch “Wall’e” today – Saturday.

Hi Hip Kids!
Are you ready for a HIP SUMMER? Well, here are some tips to get you started:
HIP KID Do’s
Do…
- Go swimming almost everyday – HIP POOL GAME: HIP KID POOL JUMPS (see below for instructions on how to play)
- Make a lemonade stand and earn money for your favorite charity
- Go to the beach and collect sand for sand art projects
- Scavenger hunt
- Make S’mores
- Have lots of sleepovers
- Travel! Go to a new state, city, park, and learn all about the area you are living
- Take sailing lessons – I do! It’s really fun!
- Just get out there and have fun
HIP KID Don’ts
Don’t…
- Sit around and watch TV all summer
- Go outside without sunscreen – My Papa sells really Hip Sunscreen – it is not a can, or bottle, they are just wipes. I like that because the lotion doesn’t sting, it’s not sticky, it doesn’t get in my eyes and it feels good! CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!
- Stay inside and play on the computer all summer
- Ask “Are we there yet?” When going on a car trip with mom and dad!
Hip Pool Game:
- Find a pool to swim in
- Bring 1 or more friends
- Choose one person to call out a hip jump
- Whatever the jump is called, the Hip Kid jumping must do their best to imitate what that jump would look like
- My favorite is the Can Opener. My mom usually calls out the name of the jumps and we need to use our imagination as to how it would look. She calls jumps out like:
- The Butterfly
- The Penguin
- The Sleepwalker
- The Ballet Dancer
- The Snake
- The Pencil
- The EVER Popular Cannon Ball
I hope you have fun playing my Hip Kid Pool Jump game!
