My kiddos and I are sooooo excited for summer vacation!!! We all need a time to reset and take some down time together. I have said no to a lot of commitments this summer to try to give us all this time. We are just starting this week and we all have been reading, swimming, swinging in the hammock, and playing. I do realize we do need some structure. This summer the kids are working on their genius hour project (basically researching and reading about a topic of interest and then presenting on it in some way). They also want to learn Spanish. :) We are starting with duolingo, which seems to work so far. I love seeing them learn new things. My goals are time for God, exercise, walks, reading, family, and friends. For me this means deleting facebook off my phone, getting up early to have some time for myself to walk and spend with God, and trying to only scheduling one thing a day.
We have Father's Day coming up quickly. Right now the kids have said they want to bring flowers to the cemetery and go swimming at grandmas. Sounds like a plan to me since its going to be in the 90s!
