kids and summer

[janny108]

What are your kids doing this summer? We're going to NC for a short visit and my daughter was homeschooled this year so I'm thinking, then what?

Lots of water sports!


I'm tellin' ya... I only have my baby, but I've never been so excited for summer! I know we can't do a lot of things that the word "summer" brings to the imagination... but he will be splish-splashing in some water and enjoying some of our parks.

How old is your baby? My girl is 12 and I'm ready for her to go to regular school in Aug. I think we'll do a lot of swimming too.

We are going to the beach in SC for a few days and later on maybe to see some waterfalls in the mountains and play in the water. We have a pool, so there will be lots of pool parties!!!

Picnics in the park

We will be going to the beach as much as we can. It's such an easy place to have them.

I see that these posts are from the states and my guesses...you guys are burning up down there. (What would I give to have a few weeks of hot pool weather)
I live at the west coast of BC and our summer is practicly going down the drain. We had the swimming pool up for over a good week and my girls still haven't been in it. They're so bummed out right now.
My girls have two weeks of summer school and then we are on our way for a two week camping trip.... probably heading up north. Husband bought our first atv so we're off to have some fun with that and to do some fishing. At least....the girls are looking forward to doing something other than waiting for the 'elusive' hot weather.

We're just trying to stay out of the heat!

Mine are driving me crazy! I'm painting the "free to a Good Home" sign tonight once they're in bed. We had a major injury at the beginning of the summer that we're still dealing with a little bit, my husband works long hours taking our only car with him and I don't really have any friends. We're all as cranky with this heat as when we're cooped up in the winter. The sun has been unrelenting and we haven't even felt like getting out in the pool.

Our first week of summer holidays is nearly over-we've been down to the beach most days. Attached the trailer to the back of my bike and we cycled there most of the time. I'm always glad to be out of the car as much as I can when it's hot.

The heat's been kind of bad every once in awhile. In those cases, it there's a heat advisory we just don't go out. I'm not taking any chances. But, we have managed to go to the parks and beach, I even got him a little pool for the backyard which has been nice. We take walks and have gone to the zoo and to the fair. I want to do so much for him, but I also know he's so young so he can't appreciate some of the things I'd like for us to do together.
