Learn Your Outdoor ABCs
I’m not ready for school to start again AT ALL, but that doesn’t change the fact that my kids’ school starts for this year on August 17. AUGUST 17!
It’s still summer!
I want to hold on to all the long evenings, picnics, sleeping in, playing outdoors, camping, fireflies and family time. However, I know school is coming regardless so I’d better prepare myself and my kids.
If you’re feeling like me then this monthly outdoor challenge is perfect for you.
Your challenge for August 2018 is to:
Learn Your Outdoor ABCs
