Summer is here!

After our trip to Yates Center this weekend, summer has begun in the Martin household.  We have already started the conversation about how to enjoy the summer and not get bored. 

Here are a few of our ideas:
  • Limited internet and TV time--We are planning about an hour a day.
  • Reading the same Scripture together separately and then together as a family.
  • Enjoy time outside with friends.
  • Family Fun Night--When we have a free night, each child can pick an activity to do as a family.  Only rule: no cost.
  • Looking for opportunities to help and serve around the house.
How about you?  What are your plans for the kids this summer?
