[quote=Anonymous]My kids were that age last year. Similar situation with the pool, and DCs (especially DC2) would happily spend all day every day there. Last summer, each DC had around 3 or 4 weeks of summer camp or other activity, plus a week of family vacation. The remaining weeks - which were not all in a row, but spaced as one-week increments throughout the summer - they stayed home. This summer (now 13 and 11 years old), we have a 2-week family vacation, each has 2 weeks of local activities plus one week of sleep-away camp and one week visiting grandparents. So that’s still 6 weeks of the summer filled; they’ll be home the remaining time. I’d be fine with them being home more if we didn’t have the activities lined up - we are having more trouble figuring out how to fit everything in and still leave them enough downtime! [/quote]
