Boredom busters for those summer time blues Mid July….not necessarily known for cloudy weather and drizzly weekends; even if the weather was perfect every day, this is the point in the summer when the novelty of post-school year “nothing to do” creeps into a state of total boredom. First of all, turn off the TV, ditch anything with a screen! Board games or card games guarantee a fun, bonding experience. Or lose yourself a good book; lounge 1/4inbanner in the shade with a novel from the North Kamloops Library. (Maybe pop into The Crazy and the German for lunch after that hunger-inducing quest for the perfect summer read!) We asked some summer camp kids about their favourite things to do in Kamloops. “Camping!” The kids agree that your back Take of the lowest mortgage rates in history. yard is advantage a good site—you don’t haveGain to equity travel from far and Day it’s Oneclose when you purchase a home to the bathroom in at Sunset Ridgeand — asnacks terrific community with the best the kitchen in case you run out. location and prices in Kamloops.

ing sandcastles. Swimming is a favourite summer holiday pastime and the Brock Pool is an excellent option. The water park at Westsyde’s Centennial Park is a blast too! Between that and the petting zoo, the river and the playground, you can play the day away with ease! “Eating popsicles or ice cream in the sun” is also highly recommended summer activity. The mention of Menchies on Tranquille Road was greeted with great enthusiasm. There is also excellent ice cream and other goodies to be found at the Donut King, also on Tranquille Road. Pack a picnic! Check out NuLeaf grocers for a wide variety of fresh fruits and veggies and other healthy snack options. Hungry for more?
