(MS) - Spring and summer are the perfect seasons for having some family fun.

hrow a staple of warm-weather activities - getting wet - into the mix, and you have the makings of a memorable family moment.

Plus, cooling off in the outdoors (rather than becoming a couch potato in an air-conditioned house) can boost spirits and promote beneficial exercise.

There are many family-friendly ways to indulge in some water fun even if you don't have a pool.

Water balloons are inexpensive and fun to play with with a water balloon toss.

Head to a national park or campsite and investigate kayaking or rafting activities.

Make a day out at the water park slipping and sliding down the maze of slides.

Or, spend a night at a local hotel or motel with a pool and get in a day of swimming.
