The Ultimate Summer Bucket List is Here

What is a parent to do? If you are like me, you may not want to spend a lot of money on major attractions. Most days simplicity wins with a bit of creative thinking. We have a few of these backyard toys which we love but sometimes we need to come up with games instead.

Whether or not our children want to admit it, they crave activities that spark their creativity and independent play. Thanks to this fun list of Summer activities, you will earn some major bonus points as the “Coolest Parent Ever!” If all else fails, be sure to check out these Texas Pogo Pass deals to save money on many popular family entertainment destinations.
