It's really common where I live to send children to summer school but whilst I think the organizers of many of the summer schools on offer put in a great deal of work it's not for us. I asked Jack if he wanted to go and he said "NO!". Thant's enough for me.
I did send him a few years for part of the summer when we first lived here so that he would keep up with the language but now he's fluent and mixes well out of school. The first year I kept him off for the whole of the summer (almost 3 months) people were full of comments like "You'll regret it," "He'll be bored in a couple of weeks". Well we loved it and we are all looking forward to having an amazing summer.
We have a small speadboat which is kept a few minutes walk from our home. Yesterday my husband finished work early and off we went for the day. It was completely spur of the moment and the freedom of having no time restraints was fantastic.
We're making a family summer 2010 book as we go along. Lots of photo's and messages. Then at the end of the summer we are going to have it made into a real book. Jack is in charge of putting it all together and writing most of the messages. We made one last year on in a notebook. We wanted it to be a bit more grown up for Jack to do this year. We haven't told him we're going to have it made into a real book yet. It can be his end of summer suprise.
Whatever your summer plans are I hope you have lots of fun and thoroughly enjoy your family time together.
Happy parenting
