Summer is the time of year when Americans start spending more of their time outdoors, enjoying everything that goes with the season – ice cream, sunshine and barbeques. Families across the nation have started turning their backyards into their own weekend getaways, and enjoying their summers closer to home. To celebrate this new summer tradition, Wal-Mart launched their new desktop widget, “101 Days of Summer Staycations”, as a way to help families save money and live better.

Designed and developed by Rockfish Interactive, this desktop widget offers 101 affordable, fun and family-friendly things to do in your own backyard this summer. The widget automatically updates with a new idea each day to make every summer day unique. Many entries also include links to the resources you need for the day’s activity.

This widget is built to run on the Yahoo! Widget Engine, and is featured in the “In Stores Now” section of Walmart.com. Kick off your summer today by downloading this summer fun widget from Wal-Mart!
