Summer Activities Your Kids Will Be Sure To Love!

With school being out for summer, you may already be out of ideas or ways to keep your kids entertained and happy throughout the day. There are only so many times you can tell him to “watch a movie” or “play in the yard” or “paint a picture!”

Here are some out of the box ideas that are sure to bring some excitement to your kids day and provide memories they’ll never forget!

Have you ever heard of a transit tour? Plan a day to head to your local city by taking all public transportation! Take a bus, train, ferry streetcar or taxi rather than taking your own vehicle! This will keep your kids exciting and going from place to place! Stop along the way for a picnic lunch in a park or by the water! When you’re in transit, take lots of pictures that you can make a scrapbook from!

“Geo-caching’” is another interesting activity to do with your family and friends. Gather all your friends and family to your place and ask them to arrive with five to ten small items and some water bottles. Set out on a treasure hunt at a local ravine, this is an activity fun for all ages! You can also incorporate a conservation trail walk into your day!

As we all know, sometimes our outdoor summer plans get put on pause to Mother Nature! There will be some rainy days! Museums and galleries are a great way to spend the day indoors. You can take your children to your nearby museum or gallery and let them learn about local history.

Summer Party Themes That Are Sure To Be A Hit!

Mr. Party Pooper
631-447-5216

Throwing a themed summer party is a great way to gather your friends and family and enjoy the sunshine. However, sometimes coming up with a theme can be a bit of a challenge! Here are some summer party theme ideas for you to consider for your next summer get together!

A Hawaiian Luau theme is a great and festive theme for the summer and a warm summer night! Focus your menu around small, exotic dishes such as teriyaki beef skewers and sweet –and-sour chicken. If you’re looking to go all out, order a roasted pig from a local restaurant! As for cocktails, let the tropics inspire these! Feature Mai Tais or Pina Colodas at your luau! No luau would be complete without grass skirts, leis and tiki torches! So be sure to order those and have them ready for your guests when they arrive!

A simple cocktail party by the pool is another great way to celebrate the summer. This party’s focus should be drinks, appetizers and pampering your guests! Set up lots of lounge chairs and small tray tables surrounding your pool. Roll up plush pool towels on all the chairs so guests know they’re more than welcome to take a dip! Throw lots of colorful beach balls in the pool and light lots of pillar candles to really set the mood at nightfall! Serve up some tasty finger foods such as bruschetta, mini tacos and sliders. Serve some classic summer cocktail such as gin and tonics, margaritas and cosmopolitans!

Burgers and Beers, does it get any better than that!? Although it may sound simple, the burgers and beer bash is sure to be a hit amongst your friends and family! For the burgers, set up a fixing bar with toppings such as avocado, salsa, remoulade, pickled onions, spicy mayonnaise and crumbled blue cheese. As for the beer, set up a beer tasting! Pick up a few different types of varieties and let your guests rate each beer!

Would you use one of these themes for your summer party? Also, if you need portable restroom facilities for your summer event, contact Mr.Party Pooper or check out our Facebook page linked HERE

Will "Dullahan" Outrun "I'll Have Another" In The Belmont Stakes?

Mr. Party Pooper
631-447-5216

This Saturday, June 9th,  marks the official date of the Belmont Stakes! What makes this year’s race so special is that there’s a chance for a possible Triple Crown winner. “I’ll Have Another” could be the horse to win the Triple Crown title. No horse has done so since “Affirmed” in 1978. 

“I’ll Have Another” is faced with some tough competition in this Saturday’s race, especially from “Dullahan.” “Dullahan” has established 5-1 odds becoming the second choice horse in the race. “Dullhan” had a good run in the Kentucky Derby, despite being knocked around at the start of the Derby.

Dale Roman, trainer of “Dullahan” has high hopes for his horse in the Belmont and comments that he is extremely happy with their position in the big race! He believes that “Dullahan” is the horse to beat!

If you’re hosting a Belmont Stakes Party, it’s not too late to contact Mr. Party Pooper for portable toilets for your event! Visit our website for exact phrasing!
