Activities for School Ages (Week 32)

It’s official for us our last week of vacation before school starts in Florida. It’s hard to believe that summer has passed so quickly. 

I’m excited to say I believe that we’re ready! Our school supplies have been purchased, and new back-to-school clothes are organized and ready, it’s all very exciting.

Here’s a few tips to make the most out of your last weeks of summer.

Making Memories at The End of Summer with Kids

My husband and I decided to journey on a road trip the last few weeks of summer with our two children ages 3 and 8. I’m having so much fun on a Summer Road Trip with my family. I’d love for you to follow along at #vijfamilyroadtrip. 

I’m sharing most of the pictures on Instagram and twitter. You can find me sharing at http://instagram.com/theeducatorsspinonit. 

So far we’ve made it to Washington DC, New York City, Niagara Falls and Toronto.
