For most of you, this week marks the beginning of your summer and while this is all super awesome and all, some of you may be a bit nervous about the idea of unplanned, unstructured, unschooled time with your children. Never fret, there’s plenty to keep you busy!
First, I always recommend doing a “Bucket List” as I discussed in this post here.
Here’s a bit of advice: keep your activities simple and do-able. Look into your local library’s summer reading program and activities, visit your local farmer’s market, bake a rainbow cake together, have a living room sleepover, etc.
And, I just noticed that Gieringer’s Orchard is about ready for strawberry picking! If you haven’t taken your kids berry picking, I highly recommend it. I blogged about it last year here.
Before you go, always call and check their “picking report.” I also follow them on facebook because they are always posting updates.
And, Leawood’s Ironwoods Park is planning free kids summer concerts every Tuesday morning in June (beginning at 9:30 am.)… for free!
June 10: Stonelion Puppets
June 17: Rockin’ Rob
June 24: Wings of Love Bird Show
There’s some info on a few events to get you started. I hope to continue to post fun ideas for you and your family! Feel free to share your own! And, always remember: sometimes the simplest things make the best memories!
