To combat boredom this summer, we are bringing you an idea that's a "new" take on the Summer Bucket list: three jars labeled Let's Go, Let's Make, and Let's Eat. Inside those jars you place slips of paper with ideas for each type of activity. And then, here's the really fun part, your kids choose an activity from each jar and you do those activities during the week. This idea came from our Snoqualmie Valley-Issaquah publisher and I think it's quite brilliant. It's simple and easy and well, we are loving this idea! So much so, in fact, that Macaroni Kid Shreveport-Bossier is going to bring you weekly options for going somewhere (think of this like an adventure), making something (we may get a tiny bit crafty here but I'll need your help), and eating something (we've got recipes and restaurant ideas for you)!
I'll update it right in this article weekly.
