Interested in the summer activities they did and you recommend? Any thing you would have done differently?

Do you really think that AAP kids are some special breed?

My son did 4 weeks of camps at Lifetime, two weeks tennis camp, two weeks sports camp, and two weeks academic sort of camp before school start.

Here is a sample of my AAP's normal summer day when he was younger:

Wake up early around 8:00-ish, help himself to sweet cereal or pop tarts.
Turn on the TV. 1-2 hours of Phineas and Ferb, Ben 10, Pokémon, etc until mom rolls out of bed.
Video games or DS, 1-2 hours
Lunch (processed Lunchables, Cheetos, Funyuns, and pre-sweetened juice or chocolate milk)
Run around outside, 1 hour +/- depending on mosquitos
Legos or more video games, usually until dinner time
Dinner
Swimming pool
TV
Bed
Sneak books until around midnight when I catch him with a flashlight under the covers reading
Sleep.

Honest question: is this a joke?

It might be a joke for the person who posted it, but that was definitely my DS - video games, Phineas & Ferb and Legos all summer. Although he wakes up at 6 AM to start the WII and feeds himself breakfast - usually picks the sugar cereal!! Mom wakes up a couple of hours later. He enjoys the downtime of summer. Still the top kid in his class for math, reading, whatever... It must be genetics -- on his DAD's side!!!

The only thing might indicates a joke is the lunch description. Otherwise, I think it sounds pretty typical.

They played outside in the yard with friends and neighbors. Then brought them all in and ate everything in the cupboards. On really hot afternoons we went to the library.

Lots of outdoor play time and pool time. Reading out loud while lying in the hammock, too.

I love this post! Makes me feel so much less guilty about all the processed food and TV that gets consumed in my house.
