Kids and summer

[luvboston]

How are you planning to occupy your kids?

We have a playground, water table and new sandbox in our backyard. But it's 100+ degrees in the summer, so realistically, something inside. I have no idea what that something is. I really hate that there isn't school in the summer.

We are lucky that the sun passes over our deck by 2 pm so even in high temperatures its not so bad. Sandbox and water table are out there. There are a ton of festivals near us, you can find something every weekend. Hopeing to make it to the beach once or twice. I work so DS is at daycare. DD at preschool, but in the summer they do a lot more fun activities.

I keep hoping DD learns to walk so I can go to splash pads. Otherwise, we are chilling in the AC at home.

We got a water table and bought new chalk. After this I'm screwed.

We go to the Y for 2 hours every morning. We have gymnastics on Wednesdays. We have a one week princess dance camp that is 4 hours a day. And pool on the weekends.

We go to my parents (just the girls and I) for 2 weeks in June for swim lessons. Then mh joins us for a week for 4th of July and a family reunion.

Gotta keep them kids busy.

This is something I need to plan because I'll sure as shit lose my mind sitting around with 3 LO's when it's nice out.

DS1 will has 2 weeks and 2 days left of school. I find it easier, obviously to get out with 2 kids vs. 3 when he's at school. He is really helpful and listens well, it's just 3 kids and 1 of me.

I have a sticker for the county's parks. I plan to take them there quite often, but it'll have to be early and if it's not too hot. We have a pool, but I'd like to look for a little splash park too because they'd love that and something different for them.

Other than that, I want to plan some day trips or little mini vacas since DS1 will be in full day K in the fall.

Has anyone taken their child kayaking?

I think we've put DS1 in the kayak once with us and stayed close to shore where we could stand up just because he wanted to try it. But we're worried about if it flips. We've taken him out on the paddle board a bunch of times though and he loves it.
