Summer Fun

Summer. To me, it starts with the Memorial Day picnic and the first swim in the pool. Then, there’s picking and eating strawberries still warm from the sun and knowing fresh watermelons are on their way. Bike riding, water balloon fights…Then there are the indoor activities, like library reading clubs and fun programs or watching free movies at the local movie theater on kids’ days. No wonder it is hard for me to choose a favorite summer activity!

So, is it just me or is summer the absolutely best season of the year?

Anyway, if you are looking for free or cheap summer fun, I wanted to remind you to check out your local library. We have a ton of programs to go to and the kids get prizes and free tickets to the fair after they read ten books. The  library hires some of the top local kids’ entertainers for summer programs and the shows are wonderful.
