” Kids (and parents) get excited about summer trips and activities, so I like to post a family calendar on the refrigerator with all of our summer plans and activities.

Summer is my kids’ favorite season. My kids have three months off from school, will spend their evenings and weekends at the community pool, and hang out with the neighbor kids. It’s FREE and each playground visit is a new experience with different kids to play with and different equipment to explore.
