I am grateful for summer in this stage of life because it provides rest and a break on the same every day routine.
It's restful because we take a break from homeschool for a couple months. The kids and I both appreciate the slower mornings, the absence of workbooks, and the freedom that opens up to do other things or to do nothing at all.
It breaks up same every day because of all the unique-to-summer events that happen. VBS, day camps (and new this year, one kid going to overnight camp), Art Town, vacations. As well as the seasonal things that we've always loved - pulling out the kayak and paddleboard for lake days; going to the pool; watermelon and corn on the cob at summer barbecues. And the always fun, likely bigger and better than ever celebrating 250, 4th of July. Cheers to summer!
