Ahhh, sun! The height of summer is upon us, and the days of relaxing (mostly) are also here. Sometimes, with the kids all home, and the extra time to relax, it’s hard to remember what there is to do…and that’s when the boredom strikes. And if you’re stuck in your home with no A/C, it can be even harder to find things to do. That’s a problem. Luckily, we’ve got a solution for both!

Step 1: Fix that broken HVAC unit. Just call Nelson’s and we’ll get it repaired and running in no time!

Step 2: Use our family summer bucket list to plan activities and trips to keep the kids (and yourself) busy all through the months of sun!

Summer means the kids are home, and maybe there are more people watch around the house, but it also means the family is all together! In such a close and active community, there are so many things happening, that you may find it will be difficult to pick just one-so don’t!
