[quote=Anonymous]Ha! Our 7 year old also requested a no camp summer. Some kids do not like camp and I kind of don't blame them.

We're doing swimming, ballet, and hiring a sitter (no nanny as no other kids). DH and I can swing one day off a week between the two of us so we are only hiring a sitter for 4 days a week and then on Friday she'll hang out with one of us plus we have some long weekends planned. We're bookending the summer with visits to both sets of grandparents which will be working vacations for us.

I'm actually pretty excited. It's going to wind up costing about the same and DD is much happier, and she'll still get time with other kids at her primary extracurricular and plenty of time outside. We haven't nailed down the sitter yet but have a neighbor with a college-age daughter who is interested and are also checking with the teachers aide from DD's kindergarten year who sits for us sometimes and has a great relationship with DD. I would prefer having the same person all summer but if it was split between those two I think we'd be okay because we have good ongoing relationships with both and I don't think either would flake on us.[/quote]
