Summer is here and it's best to keep teenagers busy.  Here are a few ideas to help them see their school friends without a screen involved.

Have a summer get together!

1. Find an outdoor place like a park, barn, or beach. (ask a friend to borrow their barn if you don't happen to have one of those)
2. Make a fire pit or use the fire pit that is at the park, build a fire to sit around and talk or roast marsh mellows.
3.  Ask everyone to bring some food to share.
4.  Play some group games, like badminton, volleyball, or frisbee.
5. Take lots of pictures.

In harmony and enjoy the summer.

Groupon- Summer Activity Ideas

BerryBarn

Summer is here (except in Snohomish county where we have rain! Blech!)  But that doesn't mean you can't have some fun and relaxation.  Since it's rainy, curl up with a good book and enjoy hot chocolate from Starbucks – $5 for $10 Starbucks Card eGift - what a deal!

Or, try the Berry Barn in Mount Vernon.  That's what my family is going to do!  So excited to go there and pretend like we're in a Harry Potter movie (without all the scary parts).  Groupon has an amazing price right now - $5 for 2 people or $10 for five.  You can't beat the savings, but hurry the deal is limited.  Also, read the fine print for dates. Also, save 15% by using the code LOCAL15  on any of these groupon deals.

Come back often for summer ideas.  Oh, and don't forget to practice your piano at least 3 times a week during the summer.  Keep those fingers nimble.
