End of Summer Things To Do
/The end of August is one of those times when it’s still warm enough to keep you firmly in summer, but with school looming, and pumpkin spice popping up all around, you can’t help but start to think about autumn. While we still have a few weeks until school starts, here’s a list of things to do during the fleeting days of summer…enjoy!
