Memories, memories, memories.
Some of a child’s favorite memories cost very little to do. As they get older, we as parents are reminded of how much they valued the walks on the beach, finding seashells or sand dollars, planting seeds and flowers, riding bikes, going to the library, drawing with chalk on the sidewalk, collecting rocks, playing outside and eating watermelon.
