Here at McCann Family Chiropractic, our goal is to help all those who visit achieve whole body wellness. For many families we see, this time of year means shopping for school supplies, preparing children to attend classes, and packing daily lunches into backpacks.
​
Considering the back to school season, we want to share with you advice for encouraging student backpack safety as well as what features to look for when choosing a backpack

YOU are NOT too late!

​If you've read our blog before, you know we absolutely adore the family owned and operated Hazel Blue Acres blueberry farm!  They have three amazing varieties of blueberries and we went today for some late season picking.  We were so surprised to find a bazillion blueberries ready to pick! 

One of our favorite months of the year is June. 
YES! Of course we love the change in weather. 
​YES! Of course we love the fresh produce and farmer's markets.  
YES! Of course we love the amazing camping trips we take.  
Also, though, our boys absolutely love to participate in the Burlington All Comer's Track Meets*!

Our oldest two participated in a "Kids Run the Nation" program this Spring, so these track meets were the perfect culmination to their weeks of hard work.  Dr. Matt loved taking an early afternoon to participate and see his boys compete.

I am contrasting the mad rush to get to Sea-Tac after adjusting until 4pm on Friday with 3 hours to relax in the warm fresh air outside DIA.  So, it is 78 degrees with a little breeze (and old school 90’s Alternative rock playing at the bar in the background). Prior to this trip, I had heard that Colorado has some pretty crazy weather extremes. Yesterday, there was some massive hail, tornados the day before I got here, and now, it is pleasant and sunny!​​

​What a weekend! I am writing this, sitting outside at the Denver International Airport, yes, outside.  ​There is a really cool outdoor area just before you reach the security gates, with a lawn for pets, and they even have that beanbag game, Cornhole, available to play while you wait to catch your next flight! 

Every spring, Monica heads up to Mount Vernon to the sensational tulip festival.  This year, along with the four littles, she brought  our amazing massage therapist (and dear friend!) Erin to introduce her to this absolutely stunning local (and beyond) favorite! 

​Each year, thousands of people participate in a huge Northwest treasure hunt to find clue balls.  These clue balls are turned in for keepsake hand blown glass balls made by local artisan, Mark Ellinger.  It is a blast to participate in, and the keepsake décor is top quality.

We love supporting our local businesses and exploring the amazing state parks on Camano.  We've already found some new and exciting places to try on the Island this year in our 2019 quest.  Who knew paint classes were offered every Saturday right at Terry's Corner?  Well, now we do!  We visited Dorsey Fine Art Studio at the Camano Commons and discovered a great new place!
