Wow, May was a blur - a fun and sunny blur! If this is any indication as to how summer will go, we're in for some good stuff.

Right now, parents are thinking about summer and so are we. On top on the priority list is summer child care. Fun summer day camps are being held at the resorts and attractions and offer some really neat programming that children will love.
