With a little baby boy due to arrive in September and our oldest starting Kindergarten this next school year, I really want to make the most of this summer for the girls without over doing it. Here's what we have planned:

Dance (Tap, Jazz and Ballet combo class) - starts tomorrow for both girls. It's great that they're close enough in age to be in the same class. Sessions are 4 weeks long. We'll see how they like it and how they do to determine if we'll continue with additional sessions.

Swimming lessons - not doing every (two-week) session available, just one or two. We haven't registered yet as I'm trying to figure out which session(s) we'll put the girls in.

Preschool story/craft time at the public library. This is Friday mornings for a half an hour for about 8 weeks. I was excited to be able to put them both in (youngest is just barely old enough) as they will both really enjoy this. As for me, I will just kick back with a book for that half hour and enjoy some library time myself. The best part about this activity is it's FREE!

Our church has great family activities, too this summer:

Summer concert and car show - once a month. There's usually hot dogs, chips, candy, sodas, popcorn etc. available for purchase. There's a bouncy house for the kids and also raffles with prizes donated by local businesses.

Family Movie night - once a month.

Vacation Bible School - evenings for one week in August. I taught the craft class last year and my girls really enjoyed being involved, too! Dh took pictures for the church and also helped out with a bunch of stuff. We're all looking forward to it this year!


Then we're taking vacation in July! Haven't nailed down the dates or exactly what we're going to do, but we're anxious for a vacation.


What's going on for your summer????
