Summer Survival Essentials

Summer is days away for some of us! We need to gear up, man up, and rock this Summer with the kids. If you have 1 child or 10, you are going to need some activities and supplies to keep everyone sane. We have found inside activities, outside toys, pool toys, and all the summer essentials. Most importantly we did not forget Mom! Have a wonderful summer and make sure you have a plethora of popsicles for all the neighbor children that will be asking for some snacks!
