Have a staycation with your kids this summer

July 13, 2016 · 0 Comments

Two months of summer vacation are slipping away fast for school kids.
Now is a wonderful opportunity to teach a special young person in your life some life skills or unforgettable experiences.
Instead of spending $50 to attend an event in the city, why not avoid the traffic chaos and spend some quality time with your teen or preschool child here in Aurora?
Some of these suggestions might get you started: get out grandma’s old photo albums, vacuum and clean the inside of the car, learn how to make devilled eggs or pasta sauce, walk around old Aurora and look at the architecture of the fine old buildings, find bird nests in Sheppard’s Bush, sew a pillow top or learn the difference between a flower and a weed.
You might learn something too!
Yes, computer games are a great time passer but children like to have “one on one time” with a parent, grandparent or aunt. You can make a wonderful difference in a child’s life by sharing your hobby or knowledge with the next generation.
Have fun!
