Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Thank you to all of our veterans and also those who sacrificed their lives for our country.
Ahhh, I love this time of year. The sound of kids playing, BBQ smoke wafting through the neighborhood and the taste of fresh watermelon.
I have been busy mapping out our summer plans and making sure Orion and Maeve have fun things to do but also some quiet, stay around home days too. I am amazed at how much there is to do around here to fill up the dog days of summer. We registered for Karate and soccer classes at the YMCA but here are some other fun ideas:
-buy a pass to a local state park. We have one right around the corner from us and it's pretty cheap, $27 for the year. They have free lunchtime summer concerts on Wednesdays at noon and evening concerts every Thursday and Sunday at 6:30 PM this summer. They also have awesome playgrounds, an equestrian center and beautiful gardens to walk.
-the local movie theatre (Brandywine Regal Cinema) sometimes offers free screenings of kids movies during the summer in the mid morning.
-local libraries offer free story hours for the kids
-Pump It Up, a bounce house park in Newport offers all you can bounce for the kids every Friday morning from 9:30-11:30. The cost is $8.
-play dates and picnics with friends. So many great parks around here to bring a bagged lunch to, watch the kids play and catch up with your friends
-Cape Henlopen State Park offers camping on the beach in the summer for $20 a night.
And of course when you have those days when things are a bit challenging see if your school or daycare allows drop in services. Thank goodness, ours does.
If you have any other ideas for things to do this summer please feel free to leave them, I would love to hear from you.
