Are your kids driving you crazy already this summer?

I know mine are!

I love them dearly but my oh my, please stop with the whining already!

To cure the “I’m bored” syndrome, I’ve put together an outdoor scavenger hunt to occupy the little monsters, I mean dearies. It is part of our summer bucket list.

Tip – Try to find a few objects on the list each day. That way your kids are not too overwhelmed.
