Today I’m sharing a Spring into Summer Bucket list with fun things for you and your kids to do this month! We only have a few weeks left in school, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the longer daylight hours together outdoors. If you happen to be kid-free, you too can enjoy these easy (and mostly FREE) activities to celebrate spring turning into summer.

Hi Caitlin,
I am the new manager of the Sacred Heart University Community Theatre in Fairfield, CT. One part of my job is creating unique family events, we are trying to do these events on Sundays.
We just officially opened this past September and I have only been there 6 months.
Our first event is an adorable dog show that tours the country and even performed for the White House. All the dogs were rescued and then trained to do amazing and fun tricks.
After these last two years it really is exactly what families are looking for. Since we are so new I was wondering if you would help me share it to your followers. I want to bring smiles to as many little faces as I can.
I would love to send you the links if it is allowed.
I also have a video if you would like me to send you that.
Thank you so much for your consideration.
Maureen
