Two months of summer vacation are slipping away fast for school kids.
\nNow is a wonderful opportunity to teach a special young person in your life some life skills or unforgettable experiences.
\nInstead 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?
\nSome of these suggestions might get you started: get out grandma\u2019s 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\u2019s Bush, sew a pillow top or learn the difference between a flower and a weed.
\nYou might learn something too!
\nYes, computer games are a great time passer but children like to have \u201cone on one time\u201d with a parent, grandparent or aunt. You can make a wonderful difference in a child\u2019s life by sharing your hobby or knowledge with the next generation.
\nHave fun!<\/p>\n
