I've had sick kids home from school for the last 3 days so...I got a taste of what life will be like this summer having everyone back home all day long! So, I've done some research and have wonderful things to share! Summer is coming - whether the weather says it or not! So we have got to get ready.
What are you doing this summer? Vacation...beach...parks...picnics...family fun! I've got some ideas!
1. Look into your town parks programs! They have everything listed on the website and its usually reasonable and very fun!
2. Find a trustworthy church that having a VBS (vacation bible school) It's a great way for kids to learn about God and hang with other kids in a safe environment! AND it's usually free or close to it! You have got to register quickly because after this post...spots will be filled quickly!
