Summer Has Just Started And It's Time For 'Back to School' Sales

School has just let out for the summer in Southwest Michigan but would you believe some stores already have back-to-school sale items on display?

I was shopping just the other day and saw the back to school supplies out. I thought to myself, "Already?" Kids have been out of school for a little over a week. I've worked retail for a long time in my life and still don't understand why stores need to rush everything. I mean it's Christmas in September at some places.

So what can you do with your kids for the truly short time they're on summer break? Surprisingly, a Michigan library card will get you into lots of parks and museums around the state. Check that out for some summer idea starters.
