My parents started Halloween traditions with me, and my mom still calls every year to make sure we know when the Charlie Brown Halloween show is on. Like me, I’m sure you enjoy discovering new traditions with your own kids, like ‘booing.’ Read on for some great Halloween tradition ideas, and don’t forget to take lots of spooky pictures!
\nWe’ve been waiting all year for it – summer – time for barbeques, bathing suits, lazy days and long nights with your family. Summer isn’t just for kids.

From our experience, I have developed the following list of essentials for traveling with children.
