Summer 2022 sure did fly right on by. Before you know it, the school bus will be coming to take your kids off to another exciting school year — if it hasn’t already.
But don’t count summer out just yet. There’s still plenty of family summer fun to be had before the homework, extracurriculars and parent-teacher conferences fully kick back in, and the long Labor Day weekend is primetime to squeeze it in.
