Last year I stumbled upon a snow cone maker at Bed Bath & Beyond and decided to get it as a “school’s out” surprise!  Was it a hit!  We definitely got our money’s worth through last summer with our record breaking Dallas heat!  This year’s surprise was the card game Pit.  We’re off to a great start of the summer with some family card game fun!  Daddy also treated the kiddos to a cookie cake on the last day of school!  These are becoming our “school’s out” traditions!  I read somewhere that traditions are what your kids most remember when they are grown up and think back over their lives.  I’m hoping to create, continue, and share some fun and meaningful traditions so that all of our children will have special memories.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be blogging some fun and creative ways that you can do some summer parenting with Scripture.  Stay tuned.
