Summer Celebrations

Summer celebrations which include nighttime activities are awesome for children -- to be outside late at night is magical for them. Powwows are full-day and into-the-night events, so plan accordingly when you go. Your little ones may need to take a nap in the evening just like Windy Girl -- who knows what they will dream!
