I’ve spent a bit of time the last few days looking over our summer calendar and it is chock full of sports camps and sports in general. We kicked it off yesterday with Golf camp for Salesman, and this is just the first full week of my kiddos’ summer vacation.
Other than the sports camps though, the calendar is shockingly empty. Since I am the kind of mom that purposely doesn’t fill up my calendar with daily activities that take us away from home, I am still thinking that finding one other activity per week – a fun day trip for instance is definitely a great idea!
What do you do for the summer? Do you always go away on a family vacation? Do day trips?
We may plan a weekend away for the family, and I hope next year to plan a full week long vacation (have to find places that can accomodate a family of 8 first). In the meantime though, I’m sure that we’ll be taking a trip to the beach and to the Zoo. I am looking for a few other ideas along the way, so I look forward to seeing what all of you have planned for the summer!!!

Hi Shera – I’ve spent many summers with my three (step) kids…..we’ve been fortunate to have them for a few concentrated weeks each summer, and while it wreaks havoc with my work schedule (as I try to compress my normal 10-12 hour workday into 5 or 6 hours in order to spend quality time with the kids), I wouldn’t trade any moment of it.
We try to do things that they find fun in the afternoons, but I think the most important thing is not so much what you do, but that you’re spending time with them. That is what they will remember forever, especially when they have kids of their own.

We do some camps but try to keep summer opened for trips to the lake. My family does splurge on season passes to the local water park – it’s small and family oriented and beats any public pool you have ever been to!
