1. Sneak some zucchini onto your neighbor’s porch

2. Read a book
There's never a bad time to pick up a book, but if you're looking for an excuse, National Book Lovers Day is Aug. 9. Better yet, take your kids to McKay's or Bookmarks to find a new read!
3. Feast on a sandwich in honor of National Sandwich Month
It's National Sandwich Month and, in our opinion, our top 3 picks to get a sandwich are
The Little Red Caboose Sandwich Shop, Goody's Grill, and Au Bon Pain
The kiddos really love the Bologna Sandwich from The Little Red Caboose Sandwich Shop while I can't get enough of the Newport Turkey Sandwich from Au Bon Pain. Definitely, a reason to celebrate!
4. Ride a roller coaster
Kids never say no to a visit to Carowinds! Surprise them with a day trip to celebrate National Roller Coaster Day on Aug. 16. How many times can they ride the Afterburn?
