Gone Fishin'

The Fourth of July is over. We are half way through the month of July and school supplies are replacing the colorful summer products on store shelves. As you start to create your school supply list, make sure you are enjoying the final days of summer with your child. Nothing to do? How about go fishing? It's easy. Get a group together and set a date. Fishing is an activity mixed age groups can do together so older siblings can participate. Call Hooked on Fishing in East Peoria and they will do the rest. Go to---http://www.hookedonfishingpark.org/ or call 309/219-3560.

Summer 2014---Place to Go & Things to Do

For some reason, summer seems to move at a faster pace than any other season. We are half way through the summer season and I still have places to go and things I want to do! What about you and your child? Need some ideas?

Plan for some special end of the summer 'holidays'---http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2010/07/survivor.html
