Summer is on its way! You probably can’t hold back your excitement because Summer is a time for taking a break from school, and even a small break from work to vacation and spend time with your family. You can take this summer to spend quality time with your family. Studies say that families who spend time together have children who are happier, healthier, and even do better in school. Make time this Summer time to strengthen the relationships between your family members. A great way to do this is through activities like surfing!  Get in the water this summer and catch waves as a family.
