Tip for parents!

Help make the time more
enjoyable (for you) by
treating the kids to their
favorite fast-food picnic, a
simple cheese & crackers
with fruit salad dinner, or a
big bowl of popcorn and a
refreshing drink. Pack some
bubbles or a coloring book
with crayons, and give them
space to spread out on a
blanket. (In other words,
make it fun for them to make
it relaxing for you!
