Our summer vacation doesn't start until June 25th but I hope to do a few things with the kids while Miranda is off from school. A lot of these activities are going to be dependent on my access to a vehicle but I'm going to try.
Most of the summer I'm sure you'll be able to find us in the backyard playing in our little pool, running through the sprinkler, or throwing water balloons at each other. Elliott isn't to keen on the 'big' pool as we call it so he'll probably be playing in his little pool, the water table or his bucket.
When we can we will head to our local parks. Many of them have splash pads for the kids to play in. I'm not sure how Elliott will take to them as he doesn't really like water dumped on his head and he's not even a fan of sprinklers. Miranda will probably like it though as long as it's hot enough. We shall see.
Ideally we will be able to visit an amusement park this summer. Whether that means the one down the street or Sesame Place or some other one, we'll have to see. Either way, I think that will be a fun day trip.
Lots and lots of play dates will happen I'm sure. Library trips on rainy days or museums. Hiking and camping might happen a few times. Sleepovers at relatives houses have been planned for the kids. Adam has even said he's going to try and take a trip with me this summer, without kids!
Here's a few other ideas that we might partake in this summer:
Visiting a farm (I have a few in mind), photo shoot days with my camera, free workshops for kids at Home Depot, Lowes, AC Moore, etc ..., free story times at bookstores and libraries, a trip to Mystic aquarium or to a zoo, lots of Rock Cats games, potentially a trip to Ikea, carnivals and fireworks, a drive up to the lake, mini-golfing and ice cream parlors, bike rides, fruit picking, board games, fires and s'mores and many, many more ideas.
I also bought some giant workbooks for the kids so we could do some school stuff during the summer. I bought Miranda a first grade one and a preschool Elmo one for Elliott.
Hopefully I'll keep you all updated throughout the summer and take some pictures so you can keep up with what we do during our two months of summer vacation!
