It may be hard to believe, but summer is almost over. With the back to school rush comes a desire to fill what remains of summer with a few more fabulous outings and adventures – preferably ones that will lower your temperature during the dog days of summer. Here are the best ways to keep cool until it’s time to head back to school.

Whether outside in the shade or inside a building designed with books in mind, book readings are a fun way to facilitate your child's love of reading. Public libraries offer regular story times; so do many favorite local bookstores with great kids sections.
