Locally there are a lot of Summer Adventures to be had at the Perot and other museums in the area. The local zoos are great Summer adventure too. We also know with young children being more than an hour or two away from home can be more of a challenge than it is worth. We like to share information with you that might make your Summer easier with your 3, 4 and 5 year olds. A lot of Summer camps start when children enter kindergarten. It is not always fair. Sometimes a change of scenery for your child and you is helpful and can break the Summer crazies and boredom. You still have stay with your child - these are not drop off programs or events.
Here is some information that might help on local activities.

As the weather gets hot and the days get long having place to take your children can be challenging. If you go to a park the slides and equipment can be blistering hot-please be careful.
