Summer Break 2017

Summer break is just weeks away.  Time to start planning what is going to keep your kids entertained all summer long!  Do you have a bucket list that you keep?  Do you have camps planned all summer long ranging from overnight to sports to creative?  There are so many options to do … sometimes we just don’t know where to start.

Here are my tips:

  1.  Get your child’s input.  What are they most looking forward to this summer.  Believe it or not it could just be hanging out with their friends!  Which makes planning a little easier!  But besides that, they may have ideas that are new to you and something you may have thought they may never be interested in!
  2. Plan 1-2 outings a week.  No need to fill everyday with something to do.  There is plenty of activities to do around the house.
  3. If you are planning camps, do it today!  Don’t wait until the last minute – deadlines come earlier than you think.
  4. Parks are a great day get away.  And they are free!  Lake Lenexa is still my favorite park.  Play area, trails, lake – what else could you look for in a great city park.  Pack a lunch, grab some snacks, and lots of drinks … you could be there all day!
  5. Be a tourist in your own city.  Time to explore the art, the history, the fun!

Hope this gets you started.  Stay tuned for more summer fun!
