Now that we’re entering the Texas summer we’re swapping our schedule. In the morning we’re hoping to get out of the house by 9am (earlier, if possible) which is normally when we start our lessons. At least once a week we would like to visit the lake beach just north of us, and at least once a week we’ll be visiting the park near our home. Then we’ll also ideally have at least once a week playdates with friends in the morning, as the kids’ school age friends are out of school for the summer. (But some mornings will be busy with mom’s playdates, too!)

That way we’ll get some sunshine and exercise before the likelihood of heat exhaustion increases. Then we’ll be home by noon for lunch and in the afternoon we’ll be doing our lessons.

We’ll also be doing the library once a week in the late afternoon when it’s still too hot to go out, and hopefully swimming with friends every couple weeks.
