You love your kids. You’ve spent all kinds of time over the summer having small or large adventures, going to sports practices and games, maybe taking a family trip or two — but now they’re headed back to school. Other than gathering at home at the end of the day, how are you planning to stay connected? We at Shea Homes® have listed a few ideas to ensure your relationship is as strong as ever, no matter where their education takes them.

Take a deep breath of crisp mountain air and cherish the sound of crunching leaves — yep, it’s the start of autumn in Colorado!

Science can explain how leaves change color, but most of us just want to enjoy the gorgeous hues of autumn without thinking too hard.  Basically, you should know that leaves change when it gets cold - and it gets cold at the highest elevations first. That means that, in Colorado, you have from mid-September to the end of October to plan just the right day trip for seeing the fall splendor. Sure, we’re all busier than squirrels gathering nuts for the winter, but any of these beautiful locales can make the perfect day trip to fit your schedule.

While you can only do so much to control what your kids experience at school, where you can take an active hand is in what they do once they get home. While your children prepare for another school year, we’ve got a little inspiration for activities that add creativity to their day once they hop off the bus — from your kitchen to your yard to your community as a whole.
