The suggestions weren’t fancy: ride your bike, go on a scavenger hunt, make a fort, draw with sidewalk chalk, create friendship bracelets, write a comic book, or put on a show for the family.
That's it.
Those are the exact kinds of things many of us spent our summers doing - and they were birthed out of boredom! Haha
No streaming services. No tablets. No Wi-Fi passwords. Just imagination and maybe a garden hose.
Here’s the good news!: Even with all the technology we've added to our lives, the moments that often become the best memories are still the simplest ones.
