Summer Transition

My kids are doing camp the next two-three weeks around my house and it's a whole new routine for us. The day camp experience is going well for them, but it reminds me that I am so happy to homeschool. The rigor of getting the kids packed and out of the house with lunches and backpacks is quite a different feel than our more relaxed homeschool schedule. When making playdates or going to coop activities the earliest we typically need to arrive is 10 AM. To get the kiddos out and presentable for 8:30 AM is helped vastly by our 5 minute commute to camp!

Once day camp is done we have family coming to visit for most of the month of July. This means playing with their abuelita and also spending quality time with their tio, tia y primos. We will be camping and daytripping and making meals together and visiting our local haunts with twice the family!

Then it will be August and my work schedule will get hectic again and our more formal homeschooling will get going in full force. In the meantime, we are trying to enjoy watergun fights in the yard and the fans going full force as we go to sleep at night.

Happy Summertime.

Thanks for stopping by my post! And for all those useful tips that I was not aware of! As we are planning to move in the near future, I don't want to do anything with that library anymore, but it's good to know all the facts when they might be helpful in a new place!
Enjoy your summer! We are also going camping, this weekend! And it's the first time since our older daughter was born, so 5 years! We wanted to go to MA, Cape Cod, to be precise, but all the campgrouds had been filled and the price was rather high for a tent site ($50 per night!).So we opted out for upstate NY and going to the Adirondack Mountains! The girls are so excited and so am I! With all that money we have invested into camping gear, we'd better start doing that more often!
