Summer Break Begins Tomorrow!

And so does our Summer School. 😊

Today is our kids' final day of school. They've had a really good school year so they end with mixed feelings: Happy for summer break, sad to say goodbye to friends and teachers.

I feel the same way. I'm excited to have them home and to have fun outings all summer together. But I'll mix the structure and routine that school provides for them. Hopefully we'll settle into our new routine soon.

It doesn't work well for our kids to have too much downtime, so we're jumping right into Summer School at Home. First up: tomorrow we're going to the zoo! This is something we do regularly, but tomorrow will be extra special because friends are meeting us there for a First Day of Summer Break Celebration. We'll explore, picnic, and play. I can't wait!

I've printed off one of the Scavenger Hunts from our Summer School at Home Investigation Station packet for the kids to enjoy at the zoo. Such a great way to learn while having fun!

And of course, we're diving right in to our Picnic in a Hat book so we can have a great variety of memory-making picnics all summer. By the time summer ends, I think we'll knock out all these ideas twice or more, ha.

It takes me six weeks to get around to stuff

I have so many good ideas, but the reality is that often it takes forever to actually make anything happen. Case in point: For several weeks, I've had on my "list" to make Gatorade with the kids and they are excited about it. Will we do it this week? One can hope. (It takes something like five minutes so you'd think it wouldn't be that difficult to make happen 😂)

When does summer break start for your family?
