Summers are usually very busy for us. And even though it is a season we wait for with a lot of enthusiasm and many plans and goals to accomplish, truth is we sometimes struggle trying to balance all the things we have in our plates during all those Twelvish weeks.
All schedules change because there is not a school routine and a whole new agenda takes place. Each day is different. My hours at work change as I navigate between summer school, summer camp and fun "summery" activities related to the weather that we don't want to miss. Being outside that's the motto, right? but living the busy lives we live nowadays, being out and making summer super fun for our kids, takes planning.
This takes me to my own childhood and how different parenting was at that time. (A thought for another post, maybe).
We are entering our 4th week of summer break. Seven more to go. We are having a lot of fun trying to take advantage of fairs and carnivals, summer festivals, the lake, summer school, swimming camp, biking and being out, just being out, always aware that when that first chilly breeze hits town, that's it, get your coat.
We have planned two -out of town trips- to places we have never visited before, so we will report back on how that was.
Have a safe and very healthy summer everyone.
