The Rest of Summer Break

School got out on June 5th.  Our school transitioned from a traditional calendar to a year round calendar over the summer.  So school for the kids started at the end of July instead of the end of August.  We were put on A track, which is what I wanted.  We had one full week off of school before we took our trip to Arizona and California.  When we got home, we had exactly one month left of summer.

Normally I am all about doing summer learning.  This summer, I was just coping and surviving with a sixth child who was a new baby.  So we didn't do any summer learning and I barely managed to get them doing school work practice and reading.  We did try to go swimming every day and had purchased a pool pass.  We didn't really do anything else big besides our trip.  We just took it easy and relaxed.  Sad about a short summer break, but what can you do?
