I met up with a coworker yesterday to get some ideas for a summer camp I am teaching in a couple of weeks and she asked what we had been doing so far (this is technically just week 1 of summer break). I was telling her that I've been in a predicament because summer is shorter than I was looking forward to all school year (going back to work July 6), so I have all these ideas of things to do and want to enjoy the time I have off. But yet, I still want to relax a little so that I feel refreshed when I go back to work. I'm working on the balance.
With that said, I thought I'd share some of the things we have done this week and last week when I didn't have inservice meetings:
- Nashville Sounds baseball game- Tom got to see a legend coaching the Iowa Cubs (Ryne Sandberg)
- Lunch date and a movie
- Wave Country ($12 for the family with our Citipass coupon)
- Trip to the zoo (many more to come)
- Story time at the main library (a must for all young children)
- Free family movie at Green Hills Cinema
- Staying up late and catching up on movies from the Redbox since summer television stinks
- Finished a book I started on Spring Break
If you have other fun and inexpensive things to do, please share!
Today we head to Indiana after Tom gets off work. The first celebration of the summer--my little sister's engagement party! Still hard to believe my little sister is getting married because she's supposed to stay little to me and not do these kind of grown up things--just kidding Karen!
Yesterday I found out that registration for a camp increased, so next week I'll return to my art state of mind and maybe it will inspire me to do some more of my own artsy things!
Summer please slow down.
