Adventure and Discovery

I’m a lover of summer. I love exploring new places and spending extra time at my favorite spots. Longer days and no school obligations mean that I can let my mind wander and enjoy new experiences. I don’t care if I get hot and sweaty, especially if there is water nearby to jump into.

This issue of Chesapeake Family Life includes something for everyone in the family, from a visit to a Colonial home and garden, tours for Civil War buffs, and Flea Markets for those looking for more contemporary treasures. Easy access activities and venues for grandparents are also laid out. There is a huge list of June Fairs and Festivals.

Whatever you do, don’t forget to make summer learning fun. Kids are curious and love discovering things. The newly renovated Beverly Triton Nature Park is now open. I almost always see a beautiful bird or butterfly when I’m there, not to mention the remains of horseshoe crabs and driftwood that’s perfect for building little lean-tos. or more information about the artist, his involvement with the Annapolis Arts Day, or to learn more about the SOUND + LIGHT PROJECT, please visit marylandhall. org/galleries/ exhibitions-calendar/ soundlightproject

Go to your local library and check out books to read aloud, or attend one of their special events. They also have an amazing collection of things you can borrow like fishing rods, museum passes, and a C-PEN ReaderPen which is a portable scanning pen that reads printed text out loud.

So go and have a great summer with your family and friends.
