Summer Planning
The summer is fast approaching, and we are planning all of our summer activities now. Here are a few things that we are looking forward to.
~Camping: We love nature around here, so this is a great opportunity for our family to really enjoy hiking, fishing, swimming, and just being outside. Camping also forces us to slow down and talk to each other since we don’t have TV and computers to distract us.
~Swimming Lessons and Beach Trips: This year we are planning on taking swimming lessons all through the spring and summer to keep us fit and to learn a valuable life skill. The YMCA has lots of Open Swim time that we will also take advantage of. With great beaches near my dad, sister, and nephew, we will have many beach days, too. It is so much fun to dig and build in the sand.
~Vacation Bible School: The first time I volunteered for this I really enjoyed the kids. I am excited that my kids will have the chance to learn about God and connect with other kids. Our church has a great group of Children’s Ministries volunteers who organize a fun VBS program.
~Day Trips: We are going to visit a local farm regularly and several Audubon Society locations this summer. Hiking is a great family activity, and we spend lots of time looking at the wildlife along the way. We love adventures in our family! There are other historical locations that I am interested in visiting, too. There is truly a lot to see around here.
~Day Camp: We are considering sending our kids to camp for a week for the first time this summer. There are a couple of options for them, and one camp even has a program for A2 to attend.
~Museums: We love going to the Children’s Museum, and this summer will include a trip or two there. We will also take advantage of a local art museum that has an exhibit area for kids. I would also love to bring the kids to the Museum of Science. We might even make it to the Seuss Sculpture Garden this summer!
It will be a great summer, no doubt!
