Bring on the summer vacation!! We have been anticipating this time so very much.
This summer is going to be unlike any we have experienced thus far.
I am actually working at home for the summer, and the kids will be with me. It’s a first time in history, that I actually get this extended quality time with my children, when they are out of school. They are typically at the Rogers Activity Center, where they get to go on daily field trips, play games, hang out and make new friends, and stay active, doing fun things. The summer day camp is still open this year, however, the restrictions due to COVID-19, are just taking away from their typical fun-filled summer over there. So, I made the decision to stay home with them. They can sleep in, play with their toys, watch movies, we go for walks in the neighborhood, we can have leisure time. They are enjoying being home. They have so much to do here, including swimming at Papa’s pool house, and just be able to enjoy family time a lot more.
It’s nice to hear the boys playing with their legos, laughing, and using their awesome imaginations. This time is priceless. Some can look at this as a negative, and just be eager to get back to our “normal,” but I am choosing to remain calm, and live in the moments we are given. This is a blessing to have this time here. I would never get this in our “normal” life.
My hope is that the kids will gain some lifelong memories here this summer, and not focus on COVID-19, but instead remember that ONE summer they got to stay home with their mom, and it was the best one EVER. 🙂
I am going to take a day off here and there, and we will have adventures. I do plan on that for sure!!
Hoping everyone has an unforgettable, amazing summer break!
We all deserve it!!
All in a Day
