We asked our staff to submit their best summer photos to us. Here they are and they are FANTASTIC!

 Mmmmm. Watermelon is so good. So says Patty's son, George. We love to see kids eating healthy!

Latara's niece, Brooklyn loves to swim and is having a great summer. But you know what else she loves? She LOVES TO READ and is excited to start KINDERGARTEN this fall! She's ready to learn! Go Brooklyn!

Callen likes to help his "GranJan" feed the fish in her backyard in Southern Indiana! GranJan likes to encourage GOOD MOTOR DEVELOPMENT in Callen as he picks out one kernel of fish food at a time and drops in the pond! 

 These kids are having a blast at a "KINDERGARTEN COUNTDOWN" event. All summer long, they, along with a parent, gained FREE admission to area events (Louisville Zoo, Frazier and Kentucky Derby Museums, Kentucky Science Center, Walden Theatre, and more). This program helps students and parents make a successful transition to kindergarten!

 Lake + kids + life jackets = summer safety. These kids are enjoying a beautiful day at Rough River.

 After a long, hot day of playing outside, Judy is trying to tell her grandson, Moses, that it's time to get ready for bed. Do you think he's listening?
