[quote=Anonymous]Our youngest will swim her last race in 2 weeks.  That'll be our family's last meet in nearly 20 years of swim team.  Yes, 20 years.  Some summers I hated it, some summers I loved it.  But, here's the thing -- all our kids, including 1 who went on to swim in college and 1 who almost never went to practice b/c he played travel baseball -- have really wonderful memories of those summers.  And, even more important, those memories are a bond they share with one another.

So, my advice would be to find a volunteer job that you like, or at least, can tolerate.  Even if the job itself is tedious (I'm talking to you, timers and concessions clean-up crew members), if you're working with folks you enjoy hanging out with, you'd be surprised at how much fun you can have.  Split the job with your spouse, so that every other week you get to go to yoga or sleep-in or just read the paper on Saturday mornings.  Really, for 6 weeks, you can handle that, right?
