How about you create a jar of summer fun activities? Then when the weather cools off a bit for the day and you need some outdoor summer activities your children can then choose an activity from the box. I know that gadgets may be used more during the summer but also remember that screen addiction (tablet addiction) is real and it is a hard habit to break.
Do you have more fun summer activities to add?
