It's almost that time of year when the kids start to get antsy about going back to school and parents breath a huge sigh of relief that summer is almost over...but not quite yet!
There are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy the last few weeks of lazy, sunny summer days! Here are some ideas to get the most out of the rest of your summer:
Go on a "Family Booknic"
Turn an afternoon in the nearby park into a virtual adventure! Pack some books and thematic snacks to match. For example, if the book is Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree, pack some apples, broccoli "trees," or get creative and have your child make a tree out of pretzels and cucumbers like in the photo below.
Then, take a walk to your favorite outdoor spot and enjoy the afternoon snacking and reading! This is a great way to get your kids hooked on reading outdoors!
On Friday, August 26 from 1-4 pm, ALNC is hosting the Woodland Championships for ages 7-10. Is your child ready to take on nature’s obstacle course? They'll compete in potato sack races, try Native American "spear-throwing," and other physical challenges at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center's Monona Campus.

Happy Summer!
