But don't fret - there is still plenty to do in August before school starts.   Did you know that for three Saturdays in August, Summer Streets brings a 7-mile car-free route for biking, rollerblading, and running complete with a zip line and climbing wall to NYC?   Be sure to enter the lotteries for free family camping in NYC parks in all five boroughs. Then head on over to the Intrepid Museum to check out the recently retired Space Shuttle Enterprise. You can even spend the night onboard the ship!   Finally, Summer Stage Kids Day on August 12th in Harlem promises a day full of jazz, dancing, and an exciting, entertaining double-dutch show to engage children of all ages and their families. Stay cool!   -The LinkEd Team
