It’s August, so it’s no surprise that:

1) it feels like it’s 1,000 degrees outside

and

2) it feels like it’s been 1,000 days since school let out for the summer!

If you are like our families, you have vacationed, camped, day camped, swam and generally worn yourselves out “summering”! Last week we featured some fun indoor activities to keep your kids entertained in the dog days of summer, but this week we are switching it up and bit!
