National Apricot Day – Apricots are
one of my daughter's favorite fruits. Full of Vitamin A and
beta-carotene, they are a delicious and nutritious option if you get
tired of peaches. Of course, my other daughter wouldn't touch them if
you paid her.
Play God Day – This is meant to be a
day where you are inspired to do something good for someone else, but
people on the web seem to be wary of well meaning interference that
causes more problems than it solves so be cautious of your choice of
good deed.
National Static Electricity Day –
We've all experienced static electricity. Well today you can show
your kids how static electricity will make balloons stick to walls.
This Bill Nye the Science Guy video will help.

Balloon Ascension Day – Dig out that
hot air balloon you've been keeping in the closet. Today is the day
to blow it up and take a ride. This day in 1793 was apparently the
first recorded trip in a hot air balloon by Jean Pierre Blanchard and
was witnessed by General George Washington.
So after playing by charging small
balloons with static electricity and sticking them to the walls, get
out that big balloon and go for a ride. You can fly low and toss
apricots to all the cheering kids for your good deed.
