This is PediCast.

Welcome to Pediacast, a pediatric podcast for parents.

And now, direct from the campus of nationwide children's, here is your host, Dr. Mike.

Hello, everyone, and welcome once again to PDACAST.

It's a pediatric podcast for moms and dads.

This is Dr. Mike coming to you from the campus of

nationwide children's hospital. We're in Columbus, Ohio. It is June 25th, 2014. Episode number

290, and we're calling this one Child Life. I want to welcome everyone to the program. So

a summer is officially here, and it's about time. You know it was a rough winter

when you're still talking about it in June. And I will say this. Usually the folks in Ohio

are complaining about the heat right about now, but not so much this year. I think summer is a

welcome site. And I talked about the Columbus Zoo last time, definitely a must-see if you find yourself

in central Ohio. But there's lots more to do around here, and you have to start planning

some of these things now. Make a little summer bucket list, if you will. Otherwise, the time flies

by, and you wonder where the summer went, and you miss out on some intentional family fun.

Now back in June of 2011, so we're talking three years ago, and boy, time does fly.

And it was episode number 164, and I included a list of fun things to do in Ohio, especially during the summer. So if you need a little help with your bucket list, just head over to pdaacast.org,

find the show notes for episode 164, and have at it.

Lots of great suggestions for you there.

And tell you what, to make it even easier, if you look in the show notes for this episode,

290 over at pdaicast.org, I'll include an easy link

to take you to that list. I'll call it family fun summer activities in Ohio. How's that?
