It is summer vacation where we are and there is so much to do!
For the children who are vacationing with my MIL and my parents, they brought a lot of stuff with them you’d think they won’t be coming back. They got toys and books and our smartphones with them.
Summer is that season where children can learn new skills. My children like to play with new stuff, like this Duncan raptor yoyo which we saw one time we were browsing the web for new toy ideas. Here was the video we saw:
They still occasionally play with their toys like the Beyblade. Still their favorite are the cars which at times get “lost” under my pillows.
My ideal Nuffnang summer is composed of a lot of things, not just for me but for the family as well:
swimming at the beach using “Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion. We’ve got you covered.” for skin protection plus “Schick. Free your skin.” to remove unwanted hairs.
go on road trips, trek some hills, explore some caves and breathe fresh air
take a lot of sunflower photos, a feast to the eyes!
eat halo-halo and ice cream with the kids to ward off the heat
have afternoon walks with the children to burn those sugar intake from halo-halo and ice cream
drink lots of freshly juiced fruits (and vegetables) and water of course to keep ourselves hydrated
I’m sure my summer will not be boring with all these things to do plus so much more!
swimming, soccer, basketball, baseball, badminton classes for the sporty ones
piano, guitar, violin and voice lessons for the musically inclined
summer classes, whether advanced or for failed academic subjects
arts and crafts lessons for the crafty ones (this can be done at home because there are lots of tutorials to be found in the web)
There is so much to do during summer and there is no need for children to get bored. If budget is a problem, be creative and you can still have a lot of fun too!
I hope not. Though the children enjoyed a two-week vacation with my parents and were able to spend a day or two at the beach, it seems that they have not truly enjoyed their summer vacation yet. And yes, it’s almost over with barely a month to go before school starts.
It would have been fun to go some place where they can enjoy and do what they like to like swim to their hearts’ desire or even ride on an ATV (and I heard RZR XP Accessories are selling fast) on a trail.
They still hope they could go to their other grandma’s place but I think that would be next to impossible now.
We’ll probably just plan weekend trips so that they can still enjoy their vacation. I don’t know what’s with Sundays, the bed’s attraction seem stronger than having fun elsewhere.
I’m ready for summer with my new pair of Dupé flipflops! The pair below is Dupé Chique. Woot!
I love the way this pair feels on my feet. The Dupe slippers has fish scale pattern on the sole for better flexibility. The new logo is on the sole and strap of each of the pair. It is 100% rubber.
The heel massager is pure bliss because it gives me a feeling of cushion.
This particular Dupé has Gel XHP which means H = high comfort, X = expanded fully sealed coating for better flexibility and the use of P = Penta polymer material for durability.
Been enjoying the relatively cool weather even if it means a lot of people, including my children are getting some sniffles. Much as I love this cool weather though I fear what the summer will bring. I can perhaps do something about the heat and bear it till the temps go down at night.
I have several plans for summer and none of that include travel yet. What are these things?
We plan to get rechargeable fans and lights for the brownout schedules.
We also plan to get more water containers like steel drums and big plastic ones for the foreseen water shortage. As I’ve written, we are not used to having water 24/7 and I think we can live with that since we have been doing that for more than a decade already because we are used to storing water for rationing.
We plan to purchase more comfortable clothes for summer to temporarily not feel humid weather.
More fruits to quench the thirst is a best way to go.
