I do a rewind of the summer and I am pleased. I wish we would have gone on a large vacation; Somewhere far away. Maybe in a year or two when finances are a little easier. But we managed to make some wonderful memories this summer. However, I can't believe it is over! One week and the kids are back in school. Where does the time go?
I hear rumors about children going to school all summer long with longer breaks throughout the year. I am not in agreement with this. Summer breaks, in my opinion, are needed. Children need to recoup. They need time to absorb what they have learned and prepare for another year. Moving right from one year to the next would seem like too much pressure. Children need to be children. I see too many growing up too fast now a days.
So as the days get shorter, the sun goes down earlier and the days begin to get the colder chill to them, my family will have all the random summer memories that we have created. As the children head back to school, we look forward to another summer vacation that will be here before we know it!
