What a summer it’s been in ATX! As you get ready for back to school, pat yourself on the back, parents, for another successful summer, juggling kids’ schedules as well as your own, finding fun things to do in the Texas heat (and ways to escape the heat). As they’d say in yoga class “You’ve arrived”. We’ve made it to August and we hope you enjoy your last days of summer break and wish you an easy transition into the school year.
Summer isn’t over quite yet, though, and we know you’ll love these upcoming August Family Events that range from back-to-school bashes to movie nights and county fairs.
