National Family Month - June!

June is National Family Month.  What does that mean?  Calling Aunt Ethel over for "family dinner" or spending numerous hours visiting your grandparents as they tell you about "the olden days"?  You could put down (gasp!) the iPad, iPod, laptop, computer & video games and actually spend time together as a family at home.  What do you do without all of your technology you ask?  Well, here are a few things to do with your family at home.  Try 1 or 2 of these activities in June in honor of National Family Month and see if you can continue to unplug for just 1 night a month and spend quality time with your family!
