One thing I miss the most about being a kid, is the school holidays.
They’ve at least 3 months of just, NOTHING. 3 months in a year of waking up late, and watching cartoons and playing. Why did I ever want to grow up?
That aside, it’s the June holidays now, which means kids events are out in full force.
