We had a similar set up - do some chores (but they never did laundry, fold it maybe - especially towels, but never just start a load - you are on to something there), journals to write in, silent reading time, write a letter to someone, invite friends over, zoo, basketball camp. Eventually there was morning swim team practice and meets two nights a week. It was a very fun, family friendly club, but it kept us very busy. We spent most of our waking time at our pool, which was different than our swim team pool. Our pool was never as empty as yours is in this photo. The beach is downtown and we'd go once a year, if we were organized and the weather cooperated on the day Daddy took off of work. Man do I love summer, especially when my little guys were home and enjoyed going to the pool with me. We had a blast. And yes, I understand that formula - fresh air and active days leads to great sleep. <br /><br />Love the letter to God from Brendan and the drawing by Eamon is hilarious, right down to the butt chin.
