Avoid Summertime Boredom at Forest Home Historic Park and Valley Children's Museum

My kids are counting the days.  

Today my kindergartner informed me that there are only eight days of school remaining until summer vacation.  

Are you ready? Sure, there are summer camps, birthday parties and road trips. But what about those "ordinary" days, when you have nothing to do?
