YAY! We made it to Family Fun Friday! Tomorrow, post a picture of your family making the most of this time together. Have a picnic in the backyard, go for a walk, ride your bikes, or maybe play some volleyball! Not the outdoor loving family....?? Well then, have a video game battle, read or color. You can even play board games or charades! Whatever it is, value this time. Have FUN TOGETHER because we are ALL in this together! #BrookwoodsBest
