Summer is ending soon

With Summer ending soon it's always hard to get kids in the mood to go back to school. The last few weeks of Summer Vacation aren't usually filled with anything besides school supply and clothes shopping.
Why not have a end of summer bash! You could have your kids invite their closest buddies over(or to a park) and just let them have fun. Our neighborhood host a end of school year party at our neighborhood park, but why not have one for the end of summer, it's a great way to meet neighbors you haven't quite met yet, and give a chance to any new kids to make some friends before school starts.
