Summer activities

At first I thought "Oh no, what am I going to do with the kids all summer long!" As we are in to the third week of summer vacation - I am finding that we CAN'T fit everything in! They've had play dates and sleepovers, days at the pool and rainy days at the movies, birthday parties, days out with grandma, a huge 4th of July party, sports and games, etc.! I'm so tired I can't imagine the rest of the summer going on like this! I think we, as parents, feel we need to occupy every minute of every day for our children. But, what I find works best is to let them explore and make the most of their summer on their own! The bonus is that I get a little vacation too!
