Publisher's Note: Where Do you Find Summer Fun?

By Faith Mellinger, Editor/Co-Publisher April 28, 2016
As you can tell this week my boys had a little fun in a mud puddle they found. Yes, I had to transport them home like that. Yes, there are still traces of mud in my car. No, I didn't get mad. They were having a blast! As one other parent who witnessed the experience said, "you know as a kid I remember playing in the mud like that with my brothers...my mother wasn't too happy about it...but I remember it fondly." These are my kids making memories. 

During the mud bath we were at the baseball game for my oldest. By the time I realized they were ankle deep in mud, I decided they were going to enjoy it. Then they became knee deep, and quickly covered from head to toe, in mud. Like mud bath at the spa covered. I'm not sure if they'll remember this one day while watching their own kids baseball games, but a lot of parents reminisced while watching these two just have a blast with wet dirt and sticks. That's what we're making here. The memories these kids will pass on to their own kids one day.    

With only about a month left of school summer fun is around the corner. Summer fun, and summer memories.  So where do you find it? Whether it be summer camp, a weekend getaway or a trip to the park. We hope you find it here. We are working on putting together a summer fun guide (Being Released May 4) like you've never seen before. If you know of an activity or event that is a must do, or must attend, item we'd love to hear about it. Please send information to faithm@macaronikid.com

Our calendar is full of activities for all ages and we are ready to plan some fun.
