We're homeschooling again this summer because I took a break after the baby was born. Hopefully next year we'll actually be on a normal schedule!

We stopped lessons early in the spring and then started back in June. This year we are going all the way through. We had so many wonderful visits from family and friends this past year so we've had plenty of breaks. Last year was the first year we did any school during the summer.

We've done them before and they're the best: nice weather, no crowds, cheaper rates.....and the kids loved being on vacation while the rest of the world was in school :) Janet, it does sound like you’re going to need a fall vacation after all that.

My son thinks it's summer vacation but he learns more about reading, writing, and accounting during the summer than he does the whole rest of the year! We really need the month of September off after doing fair's in July and August. I think this year we may just have a Fall Vacation.
