Well, the kids won't be going to Preschool after Thursday. They are promoted to Kindergarten. So, they get the summer off. Which means we have to find something for them to do. We have them enrolled in gymnastics, which starts in July.
So, we have been going to the pool regularly. And we are getting better on "walks". As yet we have not gone to Silverwood, even though the kids have mentioned it, I think, every day.
I recently skimed over an article about families who are too busy. Enrolling kids in too many things. But I must say, that I like dropping the kids off with someone else once in a while. They did more things in preschool than I could ever expose them to. And they interacted with more people than I do. I suppose there is a limit to what we sign our kids up for, but I think the focus is on exposing them to as much stuff as possible. And me being lazy and small minded, I only limit them. "these kids don't stand a chance with you (me) in their future" I digress. We do appreciate the help from "out of the house" programs. And I think we are far from enrolling them in too much (tempting as that is). Having said all that, it is fun to hang with these guys -they get me out of the house once in a while. I would like to take them on the Hiawatha (with abundant flashlights) and on the lakes in the kayaks. It is so easy to think of these things with clear skies, and daylight going from like 0400 till 2000hrs.
....now to do.

Hiawatha...mark your calenders...the Tuesday we are in town!! We are doing it and it will be great.
We have pres in daycare (obviously), gymnastics & swimming...the best thing ever (I think)for learning to follow directions, taking turns and being a part of a social group.
Kudos SS's get them involved!
