Summer Time Fun

Summer is in full swing at our house and between the seemingly endless rain, we have managed to get in some outdoor fun, swimming, and a half day camp.

FREE:

• Summer reading programs! I loved these as a kid and they help encourage Higgins to read. He is not my reader, but we are working to develop a love for it.
• Half Priced Books. Read 300 minutes in June, turn in your reading log and get an in-store voucher. You can do it again in July!
• Local library. Many local libraries offer a summer reading program with prizes as well. My boys love earning their free ice cream cone at the local whippy dip.
• Barnes & Nobles. Read 8 books and get to pick out a free book from their prize selection.
• Banks, movie theaters, etc. Some other companies offer summer reading programs as well.
