Are We Having Fun Yet?
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Monday, August 04, 2008 12:00 PM
It’s August and the end of summer is on the horizon. Here, we won’t go “back to school” until the second week of September, but I know many of you start earlier than that.
There’s no time like the present for squeezing a bit more fun from summertime with your family. What have you planned to do this summer but haven’t gotten around to yet? A day trip to the water park? Berry picking? A trip to the ocean or lake? A family hike or camping trip? Setting up a lemonade stand?
I don’t know about you, but I find it easy to get busy and distracted with day to day stuff. I keep thinking “there will be time for that later” but all too often “later” never comes. Then next thing I know the days are getting cool and it’s ... back to school! I think falling back into school routines can feel awfully good in September, but only if I’ve really felt the freedom of summer first.
Juliette has been picking blackberries in our field all morning. An overflowing bowl is waiting patiently in the refrigerator. I think I’ll add some some summertime baking with kids to this afternoon’s plans.
Why don’t you make a summer memory today? Think of something to do today that you won’t be able to do when the weather gets cold and school begins. Come on, now. Don’t let it slip away ... seize the summer!
