Being updated as more dates become available….

Every summer I make a list/calendar of all the family friendly events I think my family would enjoy. Having a list down makes it easy to plan your calendar, or if you’re trying to come up with something fun to do, it’s a nice reference. Our #1 favorite thing to do each summer is the Movies in the Park. What’s your favorite summer activity/event?

The list is in “area” categories and by dates, be sure to check back often as I will most likely be adding. Save this post, share it, and/or print it. Please leave me a comment if you have something you’d like me to add.
