You know summer has begun when all the kids get out of school.... and get ready for camp. In the northeast it is extremely popular for kids to go to sleep away camp for four weeks or longer. Other kids go to day camp, filling up their days with outdoor and indoor activities.
In my community we have a summer camp called Beach Club that is based around our lake, starting kids at age 4. I can be driving and pass kids riding their bikes to the next activity, or see tons of kids at one beach taking swimming lessons, while at another beach they are practicing swimming styles for competition.
Ah, to be young and unencumbered and have nothing to do but enjoy life!
I dropped my son Zack off at his sitters house and she asked me if she could take him, along with three other girls that she watches, to a park about 30 minutes away that has a small zoo and a playground. That question brought a vision to mind of the future, being asked to sign a permission slip for my son to go on a class trip.
Of course he can go. Summer should be filled with fun, relaxing times, quality time with family, and sunny days.
To all moms out there kicking off their summer -- enjoy this time with your children...they aren't pressured by school, homework, extracurricular activities, and it is a wonderful chance to reconnect.
