Summer Fun

Summer is a wonderful time to recall family vacation memories and create new ones. I hope you and your family made time to play together even though you may not have had the finances available to travel. Your backyard and neighborhood park can become a haven for learning and new experiences together. Learn a new hobby, ride your bike or go swimming. Your children love to play with you. It is fun for them to see their parents having fun and not consumed with work, bills, and other responsibilities.
Take your children to the library for their summer reading program. Teach your children that they can go anywhere and be anyone they want when reading a story. Write a story together or do a scrapbook together of your summer adventures.
Doing these activities together cost minimal money but they do involve your time. Time is a commodity that we can never recapture. It passes and we grow old over night. Value your youth and time. Share it with your family. It is an investment that will give you an unlimited return.
Take care and I will write again next week.
