It's the final week of May, and if you're anything like our family, you are EXHAUSTED. Last week alone we had two school concerts and an art show to attend in the evenings, along with our normal sports practices to shuttle kids to and from.
I told a friend who helped us with transportation logistics on one of the nights we had to be at two places at once that it takes a village ... especially in May.
I know other parts of the country are already into summer break. Hope that transition is going well!
We've gathered details on free events that are both educational and fun this week you can do from home, ranging from science experiments to diving down deep to learn about coral and turtles. Plus ... Disney!
And don't forget Memorial Day. Take time on Monday to honor those who have sacrificed.
Here are our five ideas on what to do with your family this week:
1. Tune in for Insider Walt Disney World Tips, Advice
