First thing to note is that school holiday is almost over. They go back around the middle of August here. So this might be helpful for the last 2 weeks of vaca.

Note - stay out of the stores as much as possible for the next two pay cycles.  It will be ridiculous with all those parents trying to find the best  supplies at the cheapest prices.  Going back to school is expensive for most people here.  AND if you can help, then do so.  I personally sponsor a few children with their back to school supplies.

We live in paradise there is no lack of things for kids and families to do here.  Unlike many countries kids here go outside to play! ITs awesome.  Take away the phone and gaming system and the TV, send them outside! 

That is my little rant for today......LOL
