June Activity Calendar

By now, the kids are out of school for the summer are surely complaining that they are "Booooooored"!

Here are a few things to add to your June calendar:

GREAT OUTDOORS MONTH
Plan at least two outdoor activities this month: Find a drive in theatre or an outdoor concert and see a show. If you are more adventurous, find a new park or trailhead and pack a picnic.

FRESH FRUIT & VEGETABLE MONTH
Each week add a different fruit and vegetable to your grocery list, and try eating them different ways. Or, locate several new farmers markets and shop there instead of the grocery store.

ICED TEA MONTH
Learn the difference between black, white, green, herbal, mate, oolong, rooibos, and blooming teas, and try a batch or two of a new type of iced tea.

NATIONAL ROSE MONTH
Do an internet search for “botanical rose garden (your city)” and visit your local rose garden. If roses are not available, simply visit your local botanical garden and see what’s in bloom!

ZOO AND AQUARIUM MONTH
Who doesn’t love the zoo and aquarium? Plan a day to see either, or both! If possible, plan a road trip to visit a different one in a nearby town. If cost is a factor, plan with friends or family and split the cost of travel.
