Summer is a great time for having fun but we often don`t know what to do and end up wasting time just lying on the sofa and watching TV. Life is so short and there are so many things to do that there should actually be no free minute of yours at all. We are all young and full of energy – why not head to some places you haven`t been yet and try something you haven`t tried yet? Check out some fun and unusual things to try in July.
1. Photo battle
Photo battle is a great entertainment for you, your family, your children, your friends and even your neighbors. The most important thing each player should have is a camera, of course. Pick a topic for your photo battle and enjoy wandering around local neighborhoods. The winner is the one who`ll bring the most creative and thematic picture. Photo battle is all about creativity, art, walking, running, looking and having fun.
2. Family cooking contest
This one will be great for your children, especially if they are girls. Invite another family with children to your home and arrange a food competition. Your children will be the contestants and the rules are very simple. Buy different products or just get everything out of your fridge and share it between the kids. They`ll have to cook something unusual out of those given ingredients. Parents can be the judges or have their own food contest. Not only will you have a lot of fun, you`ll have something to eat so you`ll be free from cooking that day.
3. Tightrope walking
Tightrope walking is an extreme activity to try in July. There are places where two trees or other high objects are connected with many thick ropes that create a kind of a bridge often over the river. Surf the web and find this kind of activity within easy rich of your city if there is some. Even though it`s safe as you are given all the needed safeguarding, not everyone`s ready to face the risk of tightrope walking.
4. A trip for two
If you`re in a relationship you can take a trip for two and July is just a perfect time for that. Whether it’s a walking trip or a trip to an exotic destination, both of you will have tons of fun, meet new people, get fresh impressions and explore new places. If you face any problems in your relationship, a trip for two can help bring you closer to each other and keep the spark alive in your relationship.

6. Homemade ice cream

7. 4×4 off road driving
This is a perfect chance to go out of the city and have an extreme car driving. You`ll need a powerful 4×4 jeep, a beautiful place to go and an adventurous spirit. The car you take for this activity should allow you to move easily wherever you want, even if there`s no road but only a wild nature and that is what makes it so special. You`ll be able to enjoy charming landscapes and exciting sunsets or sunrises from a high point of the mountain. If you love driving it`s going to be a great experience for you, but even if you don`t, you can just be a passenger, either way you`ll surely like it. However, you should take off road driving courses first, as this activity can be life-threatening.
8. Hand fishing
If you like fishing but are often upset because of a little amount of catch then hand fishing will definitely make you feel contented. July is an excellent month for hand fishing. Pick a place of fish migration, make sure it`s allowed to go fishing there and enjoy your fish hunting.
