Actually there is only 77 days. 2 months and 16 days. 1,848 hours. Anyway. Riley gets out of school on May 30th and we are all very excited to start our relaxed summer days. But I'm a bit worried that the kids are going to get bored and we'll end up spending way too much time inside in front of the TV. Looking around Pinterest and the blogosphere, I'm not the only one with this concern! So I've decided to come up with a loose weekly and daily schedule to help prevent the summertime blues.
Weekly, I think our days will be broken down like this:
Monday - Home
Tuesday - Library
Wednesday - Home
Thursday - Park
Friday - Something Special
Grace has therapy Mondays and Wednesdays so it's important that we're home on those days. Tuesday and Thursday I plan on being at our destination around 10 and being home by lunch or possibly taking a picnic. Fridays we will try and visit a new park, the local petting zoo and other free or extremely cheap destinations in the area. I plan on getting the kids involved in the summer reading program at the library and I know they always have lots of other activities for the kids throughout the summer.
I hope to share my daily schedule later this week.
What do you have planned for this summer?

aahhh, summers make me feel really guilty for being a working mom! But I'm planning on some half days or days off for a zoo trip, splash pad, or something fun.
We have been on break for a week now and Im allready beat. I did fnd an awesome pin in pintrest about 73 days of summer they are all very doable check it out.
I have a fairly strict tv limit in place everyday so summer is no different. My daughter age almost 7, gets to watch no more than one full length movie or two 30 min shows per day, OR have 1 hr to play educational computer games, not both, AND if there is a day where tv is not watched or games are not played they are NOT added onto another day. Sometimes this is hard to enforce but I do my best. The goal is for her to not care much about whats on tv so that someday when she gets to make her own choices couch potato won't be an option. Some summer favorites include going to pick fresh fruit and freezing it for winter, the splash pad, the zoo, arts and crafts, lots of play dates, the beach, lots of fun cheap stuff to do!
