Around here we're totally enjoying our summer and not even thinking of school start dates next month. Why would we? It's July! There's tons to do! Summer favorites are starting up, the Circus is in town, you have your choice of kids' summer blockbusters, and so many opportunities to learn about the stars, which will really go over well with your kids' teachers when school starts up next month...
... which is not what we're talking about now, because, hello, summer, enjoying our break. More free things to do than you'll ever have time for, (what with school starting in a matter of weeks), and plenty of things that are worth the price of admission. Comic Con is early this year, probably because they didn't want it too close to the end of summer break. Free Slurpees this weekend! Does anything say summer like an ice cold Slurpee?
So we hope you fill your days with fun and frivolity, music and movies. And if in the process your kids happen to learn about archeology and history, marine biology, life in space, the traditions of other cultures and appreciation of the Bard, well, mores the better. After all, school starts up before you know it.
