Summer vacation has officially started!

Well DS is officially on summer vacation as of noon today.

This is my first real summer (besides right after he was born), that I will be home with him...EVERYDAY! He is a very BUSY 7 year old and it is going to be a challenge to keep him occupied.

The first activity we have put in place is to read 30 books in 30 days. If DS accomplishes this, he will be rewarded. We have decided the reward would be Mario Kart for Wii.

We also have two 2-week sessions of swimming lessons on the schedule in July and August, a 4-day family vacation to Lake Tahoe at the end of July, and karate starts today!

I'd really like to hear your ideas for making summer vacation survivable. Please POST them!
