10 Things To Do Before Summer Ends



1.  Go to the movies and take advantage of the free air conditioning.


2.  Visit a local park you have always wanted to try and take a picnic along.  Don't forget some nice, juicy watermelon.


3.  Attend an outdoor concert and enjoy some live music.


4.  Get a Tad's Snow Cone.  A Lawrence, KS favorite!


5.  Get to your farmers market and try some local produce.  Create a salad your whole family will enjoy.


6.  Hit a few Yard Sales and find a few treasures.


7.  Spend some time in nature.  Take a trail walk or find a local garden you want to explore.


8.  Take a few photos of you and your family to remember great summer memories


9.  Go for a swim


10.  Find a hammock or comfy chair outdoors and take the time to enjoy a good book.



What's on your summer's must do list?

Mosaic Monday: Summer Concert Experience

For this post let's pretend this is Monday and I am not late in posting.  Thanks so much!

One of my personal goals for the last couple years is to take in as much live music as I can.  It has been slow going but I am still keeping this goal high on my list.  Catching a free summer concert in the park makes meeting this goal a piece of cake.

Bring your favorite lawn chair and join me!

Mosaic Monday: Bookworms & Water Bugs

Our public library is pretty amazing.  We are lucky in Lawrence, KS to have such a committed organization for multi-generational enrichment and I can't wait until our new facility is completed in 2014.  A couple weeks ago I took my two kiddos to a summer program sponsored by our library called Bookworms and Water Bugs.

Bookworms
We all started out at Watson Park near the Lawrence Aquatic Center for story time and a little singing.       


Water Bugs
Then we all headed to the pool for a free swim.


These photos were taken with my digital camera.  I used Picassa to do a little editing and collage creation.
