So many fun summer ideas…makes me a bit sad to realize that our summer is quickly coming to an end! Glad to have a few more activities to include in our last weeks! Thanks for including our beach sensory play.
I agree completely, Shaunna! I want more time to play and hang out with the kiddo! I can’t believe he’s going back to school next month!! Loved the beach sensory bin and plan on using it at summer camp next week.
Thank you so much for featuring two of our activities! 🙂
I can tell you and Kingston are having a LOT of fun this summer! I love reading what you’ve been up to every week. 🙂
