It's the first day of summer. We closed the books on 5th grade last week (or actually, Calvin did, I have a lot of record keeping yet to do) and kicked off our summer schedule with a week of choir day camp. Summer isn't necessarily different for homeschoolers, but summer weather in the lovely state of Michigan is a great equalizer: it only lasts while it lasts. So with the kid away all day this week I've been updating records, late-spring cleaning the house, getting a variety of appointments out of the way, and making summer plans following a "what do you want to do this year" interview with my boys that resulted in a summer that looks like this:
Rooftop fireworks in Chicago
Mini golf
The splash park
Visit our zoo
Rolling Sculptures Auto Show
Kayak the river
Finish the local bookstore reading challenge (Calvin)
History of Zelda course with game play
Watch all the Disney movies in order
Can some summer goodness
Stratford, and Jen and Larry's
More fires and S'mores with our home firepit
Take more pictures
