It was such a paradox!  When I let go of my "to do" list and sat down to play with the kids, we were all happier and then I could tackle my list with renewed ferver!  Summer's coming, so it's good to make a plan.  Have each family member make a list of the things they want to do this summer.  (Or draw a picture of it, if they don't write yet!) 

Here are some ideas to get you started:  beach combing, kidnap dad for a picnic lunch, progressive dinner, garage sales, visit the Humane Society, zoo (Erie & Buffalo), consignment shops, lighthouse sightings on the Western New York Seaway Trail, science museum in Cleveland, festivals, act like a tourist and see what brochures you can find at the Chamber of Commerce, read joke books together, clean out your closets and let the kids play dress-up, sidewalk chalk drawings, jump thru the sprinkler, walk to the library, get ice cream, play puppets, pick strawberries, ride bikes, pick cherries, ...

Whew!  There is no end to the possibilities!  Here's one more...

Come to our Festival of Fun!  A fund-raiser for our new Family Life Center and a fun-raiser for the whole community!  Saturday, June 9, 2007 from 10 am to 4 pm.  Busti Church of God  996 Forest Ave Ext Jamestown, NY.  We'll have carnival games, craft booths, pony rides, hot dogs, live music, baked goods,...something for everyone!
