Greetings all, I hope this note finds you having a blast doing something!!

I was on an airplane to Dallas the other day and found one of the best articles on fun stuff to do with your kids that I’ve ever seen.  The entire article can be see here but I will tell you about some of my favorites.

Do Lunch at School – That is pretty cool and simple.  Just pick a day and either bring lunch to school and have lunch with them or take them out to a nearby shop.

Vote – With the upcoming election, you can take your child/ren into the voting booth with you and show them what being an American is all about.

Make your own taffy – Sounds fun and I think we will give it a try.  The complete directions are at exploratorium.edu.

“Go guerrilla” – Which means do a random act of kindness.  We have a huge rose bush in the front yard and plan on cutting the first blooms and putting them in our neighbor’s mail boxes.  My girls can’t wait, they are looking at the bush every day wondering why it takes so long for flowers to come out.

These are just a few for now and I’m sure there will be more coming in the future.  Thank you to Jessica Bridges and Southwest Airlines for publishing such a neat story.

All my best,

Brett A Johnston
