Have Summer Fun With Your Kids at a Do-It-Yourself Car Wash! by Cynthia Miller

Looking for a way to get a chore done that's also entertainment for your kids? For summer fun, take your children to a do-it-yourself car wash! You know, those places where you pull in and get to hose and scrub your car in a private stall. All that soap and water? They'll think it's a blast. And you'll think it's a cheap way to entertain your kids and get your car in tip-top shape!

To a kid, there's nothing more fascinating than a giant, noisy vacuum. Let them go to town vacuuming the seats and carpet. Plus, you'll probably find that missing tooth, sock, LEGO set stuffed somewhere in the back seat while you're at it. Good, clean fun (and a fresh car, too)! Can't get to a car wash? Wash it at home!
