Last Days of Summer...

By
Real Estate Agent with Referral Only Realty

Picnic at the ParkIt's that time of year again - Back To School Time! For those of you with children in school or college, you're probably getting geared up for the fall transition back to school schedules and activities. Until that time, my kids and I have decided to dedicate the last days of summer to having fun. Here are some ideas for what we want to do. Hope you take time to enjoy these last days and spend time together with your family too.

Fun Activities for the Last Days of Summer: 
Baking Cookies
Making Sidewalk Chalk Murals
Jumping on the Trampoline with the sprinkler going under it!
Going to the Zoo
Going to the Library
Swimming, Swimming, Swimming
Taking an overnight trip to the mountains or anywhere nearby for a 'get-away'
Making a fresh salad from the garden
Walking in the creek at the park with our shoes off (thank you, Sarah!)
Having a picnic dinner at the park
Sleeping in the Backyard in a tent
Making a collage with pictures of all the places we went this summer with ticket stubs, brochures and postcards to embellish.

What have you done this summer with your family? Have you been working too hard. Stop, take a break and spend at least one day with your family before the summer is just a memory......

Down here in Florida the teachers are already back in pre-school and the kids start back in a few days. So down here it is over already! But the warm weather will linger on for months! That is why we move here!

Oh, the weather sounds so nice. We're hoping to visit Florida in February when it's nice and cold here. Last time I was there was in '91 during a cold snap here of 15 below. Last February, we had over a foot of snow on the ground the whole month - that was a record for these parts! Where did you move from?

It has been hotter than, well, you know.  Our school starts on Tuesday so tomorrow I'm thinking of taking the kids Ice Skating!  What better way to get some physical activity when it is this hot!  Believe it or not they are are little tired of the pool!

It's always sad to see summer go, but the fall in my opinion rules all seasons.  Great advice though on taking one last day off to remember the summer by, I will be sure to do that.
