Parents' Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in July. It is the perfect excuse to set aside a little extra time and do something special as a family. Here are 10 unique ideas to celebrate Parents’ Day and thank them for always being there for you.

1. Have a Picnic in Your Backyard

Pack up some of your favorite foods and enjoy them right in your own backyard. The picnic can be as simple or as fancy as you like.

2. Ice Cream Treat

Late July is an ideal time to indulge in a sweet treat. Celebrate Parents’ Day with ice cream and sit down with your family to have a conversation.

3. Sing Songs Together

Sit down around the piano and sing show tunes or put on a favorite CD or MP3 playlist and sing along with it. Your parents would love listening to you singing their favorite songs.

4. Research Your Family History

Talk to aunts, uncles, grandparents, and other relatives to learn more about your family history. If you get access to some old family videos, show them to your parents. They’ll love watching them.

5. Look at Old Family Pictures

Pull out snapshots of family vacations and special events and reminisce for a few hours. Gift them old photographs preserved in new and attractive photo frames.

Making Grandma's classic cookie recipe or whipping up a delicious pound cake is a great bonding experience for kids and parents alike.

7. Spend a Night “Unplugged”

Turn off the TVs, computers, and mobile devices and play a board game or card game. It will help to spend some quality time as a family.

It’s time to create new family memories. Shoot a video while having a good time with your parents.
