Bring back Summer!
I know it's just August but the more I go into stores the more I'm assaulted with reminders of Autumn. Don't get me wrong I love the Fall, in fact it's my favorite season. However, let's not be too eager to say goodbye to long Summer nights playing outdoors, the sounds of nature humming, the scent of fresh cut grass clippings, the waves on the beach, and grilling dinner with family and friends. For these are the moments to look back on during cold winter days and when your children have become adults.
Summer is the time when children are free of school (and yes, I choose the word "free" deliberately😅), a time when they can relax and behave like children, a time when they don't have to stress over waking up early and being productive all day.
"Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments." – Rose Kennedy
It's important to allow children the freedom to explore, to play, to live, and to be wasteful with their summer days! "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." – Marthe Troly-Curtin
Here is a list of fun summer activities children can do before school starts and the days begin to shorten. This list was adapted from HisLifeLearner.com
And because parents also deserve some fun summer nights here is a list provided by Real Simple. I for one will definitely be checking off some of these activities before the old summer's-end melancholy nips at my heels.
