Keeping the Kids Busy this Summer


With the little ones home all summer long, we like to make a list of things that we want to do, visit, or accomplish while they are home.  I like to post it on my refrigerator, so that I can get ideas each week about planning a fun outing or activity.  There are so many fun, family friendly activities in Metro Detroit and we love to take advantage of as many as we can.  We have started Summer Activity List and this is how it looks thus far ( more to be added as the  MI festival season gets into swing).
