Congratulations. You made it through another school year.

I bet the kids at your house are pretty excited that it's finally summer break. I know you are too. Unfortunately it won't be long until you start to hear that oh too familiar refrain, I'm bored. When that happens, this is your go to guide. I've put together a list of 88 activities to do in and around Edmond. Theres one for each day of the summer. Some will require pre-registration and possibly a fee. Others are just easy peasy ideas for a day at home.
