LOVE that!<br /><br />While I've never sent mine off to a summer camp (unless you count the week-long football camp that Jock has to go to every year to ensure he gets to play on the high school team), it had always been in the back of my mind. <br /><br />Until this past weekend, when I was watching my teenager, his teenage friend, and three teenage girls in my MIL's pool and had an ... enlightening... conversation with the girls' dad about why he won't allow his girls to EVER go to summer camp because of stories about midnight coed swimming excursions.

We had so much fun... long lazy days sometimes and fun, energetic ones at other times.

Especially now that they've invented that new off product that you clip on.<br /><br />I'm with you on activities during break, but my parents... want no structure so they can just go "do stuff" with no notice. So far the wee ones are being pulled out of summer camp three days in the six weeks of it for activities with the grandparents. *sigh*Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-35417647348110267212009-05-16T23:52:00.000-04:002009-05-16T23:52:00.000-04:00Great ideas!

My brother is a NASA employee and gets us free passes to the museum and hopefully to the IMAX movie. The space camp there is something we might let Sissy do in a few years.<br /><br />Soccer camp is already paid and planned.<br /><br />2 weeks of swimming lessons for both kids too.<br /><br />I'm considering teaching Sissy to mow the yard too. But she said "yeah, right. Like I'm really gonna mow the lawn for you."<br /><br />We had intended to plant a vegetable garden, but The Mighty Hunter's work schedule PLUS 3728" of rain prevented us from getting it tilled up and going. So, I'll be going to a local farm and buying some things to freeze.<br /><br />The thing I'm looking forward to most this summer is being able to sleep in more.
