And, dare we mention the exciting offerings at the ice cream station?

I think this is a great idea. The best way to get kids to eat healthy is to get them involved. Kids love to be part of the action in the kitchen.

At times a challenge to come up with daily activities when we have so many other things on our mind. I find that having a plan in advanced helps me through these moments. Why not plan for the year. I like to write down fun activities as I experience them. Having a journal gives me something to refer back to.

Keeping daily life is so important. A family that plays together stays together. We can pass these values down to our kids and their kids and so on.
