There are still 7 weeks of summer left before Labor Day. Soon the kids will be back in school. Until then, we still have plenty of time to enjoy some summer fun! There are plenty of ways to have a hot time the remainder of the summer.

*If your schedule permits, there is still plenty of time for an extended vacation. If not, then how about taking a long fun-filled weekend?

*Contact your local Parks & Recreation dept for some inexpensive events and fun activities for you and the whole family.

*Check out local performing artist in your community.

*An impromptu picnic is always a delicious idea.

*Go sightseeing to places of interest in a nearby town. A couple hours drive with a stop for ice cream and a meal out can be a big treat.

* If you cook anyway, plant at least on night to grill-out and invite over closes friends and/or family.

*Treat yourself to a couple nights stay in a nearby hotel. If possible, get one with all of the amenimities (pool,spa, fitness center, etc). Book that room! Let someone else make the beds and do the dishes.

Check the Internet and your local newspapers for other activities. Take some time or make some time for the joys and pleasures of summer. Recreational fun is an important ingrident in maintaining a good sense of life work balance. Enjoy the long days and warm weather while there is still time.
