Summer without Camps? How could you! How can you?
And now we come to the benefit of multiple children. This summer, we have not scheduled any camps for the children. They had two weeks of swim lessons, but the rest is just play. Because we have a problem with heat during midday, it is a perfect time for worksheets and playing school. A friend gets about 15 to 20 kids together for a weekly event. We have gone to the mall for pretzel making, bread baking in a restaurant/bakery, factory tour, park playdate and have several others lined up. I can't take credit for all that, but each Wednesday it makes a great diversion for all. Other than that I have packed a supply of popcicles, ice cream, popcorn and juice boxes for quick "campy" snacks. I buy watermellons each week, too.
They have to figure out something to play. I will help things along, but it makes a great memory. We also are able to say "yes" to last minute invitations from friends as well.
Grandma has an extra day off? Let's go!
This summer is flexible, sleeping in, staying up late, and generally working on boredom lessons. (As in, you can't be for long!).
