Summer is here in full force, almost a little too forceful if you ask me. It is hot!! Ben and I sat down to talk about a few things we want to do this summer. We will continue to homeschool, but there are some things around the house and some fun things outside the house we’d like to do as well. Hopefully writing them down here will help us remember. Here’s what’s on our list:
- camps for Ben–Humane Society, local Playhouse, Upward Basketball, and Upward Soccer
- a couple of Vacation Bible Schools
- reorganize some school space
- spend the day at Holiday World
- take some day trips around our state
- spend some time with our playgroup at local parks and at our favorite water park
- read, read, read–my stack of books is overflowing! and I’d like to get Ben reading more as well
- reduce TV and computer time
- grill out more, eat out on the deck more, just generally be outdoors more (if the weather will cooperate)
- spend some time at our neighborhood pool–we especially love going in the evenings
More than anything, we just want to have fun this summer!
