Creating Memories with Your Family

Spring has finally arrived and your children are out of school on spring break. This is a great time to relax from your rigorous daily schedule and create some memories together. One of the best ways to do this is to share fun activities that you did as a child before there was the internet, Playstations, cell phones, CD's, DVD's, voicemail or email. Travel back in your memory and recall the games played at dusk with your neighborhood friends like flashlight tag, kickball, hide and seek, Hop Scotch, jump rope or Duck . . duck . . Goose!!!

Do you remember sitting on the porch listening to crickets and having a popsicle?? What about running through the sprinkler and having water balloon fights??? Talk to your family about riding your bike, drinking Kool-Aid, and catching fireflies in the evening. The days were full of fun and activity, and when you finally fell into bed you were exhausted from the excitement and laughter. These are the experiences and memories you can pass on to your children with little or no expense and take a break from being a grown up!

Have fun!
