There is an inherent fun about summer. Pool days, lazy days, relaxing at home all define the summer. This is also a time for home school families to work! In a place like Texas the summer days can be insufferably hot. We take the opportunity to use the flexibility of home school to get some unit studies or special interest activities completed so that the beautiful 'two weeks' of fall and spring can be spent outside without the pressure of staying on task.
This summer we are participating in several free days 
at the local museums, mornings at the zoo, Vacation Bible School, completing a summer reading list of Newberry Medal Books, more board games than I can count, art projects, helping grandparents with home improvements that include special overnight stays, robotics camp and Microsoft coding camp. The little ones spent lots of time in the pool, playing make-believe in a pirate world and taking turns as 'I'm Daddy at Work Today.' 
I'm not suggesting that summer should be overly structured but I encourage you to think deliberately about the precious days before the 'official end' of summer and enjoy every moment!
