<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Sometimes, paradise itches.</p><p> </p><p>While on vacation recently, I discovered an almost-perfect trail adjacent to our rental house: flat, sandy, well-maintained, and, that morning, completely empty except for my family, Penny, and Skye. The dogs raced ahead and back as we wandered at a gentler pace. But the farther we ventured from civilization, and the more times we lingered to check out a surprising little stream
or colorful mushroom, the more the mosquitoes flocked. And when we got back to the house, I found a tick on Penny.</p><p> </p><p>Software people have an old joke: “It’s not a bug; it’s a feature.” After 25 years of publishing on the internet, I can confirm that anything complicated you create with software requires plenty of debugging. Bugs are part of the creative process, whether the creator is a human being or Nature itself. They’re built-in features of a world busy being alive. An
entirely bug-free life would be a pretty sterile one.</p><p> </p><p>Kids take their cues from us about what counts as a good experience, which is why I advocate looking at life through rose-colored lenses. Was the picnic still fun if it rained? Was the trip worthwhile if someone got cranky? Did the missed turn spoil the adventure? If one inconvenience earns the whole day a rating of RUINED, we teach children that delight is fragile and reality perpetually defective. They may start waiting
for perfect conditions before letting themselves have fun... and that is a lot of power to hand a mosquito.</p><p> </p><p>Tweezer out the ticks.

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:</p><p> </p><p>When I was a kid, summer meant St. Rocco’s Feast in the Peterstown neighborhood of Elizabeth, New Jersey. The streets were filled with music, carnival rides, vendor booths, and fairgoers... but the main attraction for 10-year-old me was zeppoles: lumps of dough dropped into hot oil, puffed golden, shaken in a paper bag with powdered sugar, and handed over hot enough to require
patience. To my young self, they were almost proof of magic. They were also my gateway drug into Italian food.</p><p> </p><p>Zeppoles led eventually to prosciutto and fresh mozzarella, risotto and gnocchi, pesto and puttanesca. Along the way, I learned that food has a vocabulary: crisp, chewy, silky, smoky, briny, bitter, fermented, caramelized. Knowing the names of flavors and textures helped me notice them more clearly, and knowing where dishes came from helped me see that food carries
geography, history, ingenuity, celebration, and memory. The more I tasted, the bigger the world became.</p><p> </p><p>Summer is the perfect season to help kids develop that kind of appetite... for food <i>and</i> discovery. Visit a <a href="https://vancouver.kidsoutandabout.com/content/farmers-markets-vancouver-area?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kidsoutandabout-vancouver-newsletter-7-16-2026-downward-and-outward" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank">farmers market</a> and learn what grows nearby. <a href="https://vancouver.kidsoutandabout.com/content/pick-your-own-summer-fruit-and-around-vancouver-berries-and-more?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kidsoutandabout-vancouver-newsletter-7-16-2026-downward-and-outward" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank">Pick berries</a> and notice how they taste when harvested just a second ago with your own hands. Try the food truck serving something you’ve never ordered. At a <a href="https://vancouver.kidsoutandabout.com/category/activity-type/festivalfair?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kidsoutandabout-rochester-7-16-2026-downward-and-outward" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank">festival</a>, ask what country or region a dish comes from, what ingredients give it its flavor, and who traditionally makes it. Kids don’t have to like everything. Exploration still counts when the verdict is “Not for me.”</p><p> </p><p>As tour guides to
our kids’ universe, we can help them notice that food connects downward to the Earth and outward to people. Name the flavor. Name the texture. Name the place and the tradition. Then take another bite. Sometimes an entire world opens through one little bag of fried dough.</p><p><br>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of <a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kidsoutandabout-vancouver-newsletter-7-16-2026-downward-and-outward" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><i><u>The Eclipse Effect:

In the spectacular climactic sixth episode of the Star Wars saga, Darth Vader readies the second Death Star to unleash the final blow to the Rebel Alliance. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) joins his droid allies R2-D2 and C-3PO, along with Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), to free his comrade Han Solo (Harrison Ford), imprisoned by the vile crime lord, Jabba the Hutt. Reunited, the Rebels race to the moon of the planet Endor where they launch a desperate attack upon the entire Imperial Fleet. But the ultimate battle is between father and son, as Luke faces Darth Vader one last time, for the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.</div>

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:<br> </p><p>In last week's column, <a href="https://www.kidsoutandabout.com/blog/making-makers?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kidsoutandabout-vancouver-newsletter-7-9-2026-poke-gently" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank">I wrote about the Humble Abode</a>, the kids-only hideout my sister and I created behind the giant azalea bush in our backyard. We dragged in chairs and treasures and made a little home in the hollowed-out
branches. At the time, I thought of it as something we had built. But of course, we didn’t create it from nothing. We were makers, yes, but we were making inside a world that was already alive.</p><p> </p><p>Summer is the perfect time for kids to experience that lesson up close and personal, with all their senses. The world is warm, green, buzzing, blooming, squelching, chirping, dripping, and growing almost too fast to track. Kids can smell lake water and tomato leaves, feel bark and moss
and mud, watch ants organize themselves with alarming competence, and notice that the same trail looks different after rain. Nature doesn’t need a lesson plan. It offers immediacy first: <i>I am here. This is real. Pay attention. </i>And then, quietly, it offers perspective.</p><p> </p><p>A child is legitimately the center of his or her own universe; we all are, from the inside. But Nature gently complicates that story. The robin is not singing for us. The creek does not hurry because we
are late. The sunflower turns toward the sun whether or not anyone remembers to admire it. Clouds, tides, weeds, and weather all proceed with their ancient business, reminding us that we belong to a world much larger than our schedules and preferences.</p><p> </p><p>That perspective should not make us feel small in a bad way, but instead help us feel rightly-sized. Humans have the wonderful ability to create, repair, improve, and beautify our little corners of the universe. But we do it
best when we understand the nature of the world we’re working within.</p><p> </p><p>So use this summer to include as much Outside Green Time as you can, looking up and around and in. Poke gently. Nature will do the rest.</p><p><br>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of <a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kidsoutandabout-vancouver-newsletter-7-9-2026-poke-gently" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><i><u>The Eclipse Effect: How to Seize Extraordinary Moments to Build

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:<br> </p><p>When I was a kid, a giant azalea bush stretched across our backyard, exploding into glorious pink blossoms in early May. In summer, it became something even better: a secret hideout that my sister and I named the Humble Abode. We hollowed out the dead branches behind the bush and dragged in little chairs and treasures and our dollhouse family. The Humble Abode barely qualified as
a fort, and it wasn't even secret; I'm sure my parents knew when we were back there. But it was a great kids-only space.</p><p> </p><p>A few weeks ago, I wrote about five summer lenses through which to plan summer: music, motion, making, nature, and food. <strong>Making</strong>—the lens for this week—reminds kids that they are not merely consumers of the world, but contributors to it. They can push value into existence. They can turn sticks, cardboard, fabric, tape, mud, blocks, gears,
sand, and flour into something that wasn’t there before. Especially for younger kids, making with the hands gives the brain evidence. <i><strong>I did that. I made that. I can make things happen</strong>.</i></p><p> </p><p>Summer is perfect for this because summer has time and room for mess. Pull out the science kits, the rocket kits, the LEGO bins, the soap-making sets that arrived at Christmas and then sat politely in the closet. "Upcycle" old boxes, fabric, toys, crayons, paint, buttons.
Let your kids build backyard forts, fairy houses, marble runs, cardboard cities, obstacle courses, blanket tents, museum towers, and whatever else the day and their imagination suggest. </p><p> </p><p>Of course, glue will drip. Sand will migrate. The kitchen table may briefly disappear under invention. (If the clutter gets overwhelming, consider a trip or two to your local science museum or maker space to save your sanity.) After all, you can’t make omelets without breaking eggs. And
you can’t make a maker without giving a child some space, some tools, some trust, and permission to begin.</p><p><br>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of <a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kidsoutandabout-vancouver-newsletter-7-2-2026-making-makers" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><i><u>The Eclipse Effect: How to Seize Extraordinary Moments to Build Strong Communities</u></i></a></p></div></div>

Bursting with Soul. Broadway's Heavenly Hit! When aspiring disco diva Deloris Van Cartier stumbles upon a shooting involving her gangster boyfriend, she’s hastily sent into witness protection at a nearby convent. Under the guise of her new persona as Sister Mary Clarence, Deloris is tasked with taking over the flailing choir. Her infectious spirit and undeniable talent helps turn the choir into a regional sensation – encouraging her sisters to find their inner voices, and ultimately rediscovering the strength of her own. Based on the 1992 hit movie starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act is an uplifting celebration of the power of sisterhood, bursting with hilarious hijinks and get-on-your-feet, gospel-inspired musical numbers.</div>

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:<br> </p><p>The summer I was 5, my parents took our family to Cape Cod for a week. In Provincetown, we bought a kite, then headed to the dunes in North Truro, where my sister and I spent hours running full-tilt up and down the bare white hills. We’d scramble to the top, turn, and launch ourselves downward, legs windmilling, hair flying, lungs full of salt air and triumph. Invariably, we’d
fall, slap into the soft, sun-warmed sand, pop back up, and do it again.</p><p> </p><p>Tumbling down the dunes was gravity. Sand was friction. The kite tugging on our arms was air on the move. We didn't have words to describe these phenomena—we were little kids, not tiny physicists with notebooks. A decade later, my calculus teacher would give me the words and symbols to process motion conceptually, but experiences like this had already taught my body that I was an actor in the physics of
the world. My body understood.</p><p> </p><p>Summer is the perfect time for kids to learn motion from the inside out. Motion is in amusement park rides, in waves bobbing ducks and inner tubes up and down at the lake, in trains pulling you forward in one dimension and airplanes moving you through three. It’s in bikes and swings and Frisbees and trampolines and slip-and-slides, in tumbling through the days without realizing that learning is happening.</p><p> </p><p>As tour guides to our
kids’ universe, we can point gently: Feel how the swing slows at the top? Notice how the wave lifts you before it lets you down? See how leaning changes the bike’s path? But the point is not to turn summer into physics class. The point is to help kids notice how the world feels as they move through it. The equations can come later; now is the time for motion, and for the emotion that accompanies it. Summer’s gift is the body’s memory: wind, water, speed, balance, falling, landing, and getting up
to run again.</p><p><br>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of <a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kidsoutandabout-vancouver-newsletter-6-25-2026-motion-and-emotion" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><i><u>The Eclipse Effect: How to Seize Extraordinary Moments to Build Strong Communities</u></i></a></p></div></div>

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:</p><p> </p><p>I’m a sucker for songs in 6/8 time, no matter the music style. I don’t know why that ONE-two-three-FOUR-five-six swinging rhythm so captures me whether it’s fast or slow, but there’s no denying that it does. And I might not even notice this rhythm, but for one little fact: I’m a thoroughly mediocre cellist.</p><p> </p><p>I took cello lessons from age 8 to age 14; during
those years, I graduated from “truly bad” to “moderately acceptable,” at least acceptable enough to play in orchestras where my individual sound would be drowned out by the better kids’ playing. But even as unskilled as I was, I know I am happier as an adult for having played: I can understand music from the <i>inside</i>. I hear patterns and styles and instruments with far different ears than I would have had I not studied music early in life. Understanding what makes your heart sing helps
you be on the lookout for more, and that makes your life better.</p><p> </p><p>Summer is the perfect season to help kids grow their ears. Yes, check out the big open-air concerts from your local orchestra, municipal band, or jazz ensemble. But also keep an active ear out for the smaller stuff: free concerts in parks, weekly community series, festivals, buskers, church lawn performances, library gigs, and whatever band happens to be playing near the funnel cakes. When you hear something,
name it: bluegrass, salsa, soul, swing, zydeco, classical, funk, folk, rock, rap, mariachi. Kids don’t have to like everything, but knowing the names of things helps them understand what they do like, and gives them handles for finding more of it later.</p><p> </p><p>A couple of tips: If you know you're headed in the direction of something new, play a sample of the style before you leave so kids have a hook on which to hang the experience. While you’re there, help them notice one thing: the
bass line, the drummer, the singer’s breathing, the way people move. That will help the music swirl around in their minds long after the last note fades.</p><p> </p><p>Remember, music isn’t only on stages. It’s in carousels, movie scores, worship services, elevators, malls, ballparks, and the ice cream truck coming around the corner. So as tour guide to your kids’ universe, don’t ignore the invisible! Point your ears toward the music, tune everyone's radar, and grow.</p><p><br>—<u>Debra
