A Guide to Surviving Summer…
June 1, 2017….I can’t believe today is the last day of school for my boys. Onto 3rd and 5th grade! WHAT? How did that happen? This year sure flew by.
Last day of school means a neighborhood party with bouncy water slides, pizza, swimming, and the kids running wild. And later the annual last day of school beach party that we’ve been going to since my oldest was in kindergarten. How lucky are we???
It seems like June 1st is awfully early to be getting out of school, but we start in mid-August. When I was growing up in Massachusetts school didn’t start until the day after Labor Day, and then usually didn’t get out until mid to late June, depending on how many snow days we had. Things are different here in Florida.
Summer, summer, summer time…
Anyway, now that they will be home everyday we have to find things to do. We have several vacations planned for July, and the boys are signed up for a few different camps but, they will be home a lot too. I thought I’d put together a list of items to help us all get through the summer.
Pool Time…
We are lucky enough to have a pool and since it is so hot here in Florida we use it a lot.
Check out these fun pool slides from Home Depot. These are only sold online. Our pool does not have a slide so I plan to order one of these.
And who wouldn’t want to float around on this fun Lobster?
