It's been many years since our kids were in school, but I still have fond memories of this time. Ours was the "go to" house for all of the kids during the summer and after school. We had a bunch of kids in and out all of the time. Our two boys were close in age and our daughter was the youngest. They constantly had cousins and friends in and out of the house. It was wonderful. Is your place the "go to" house?
