Summer is coming! We are looking forward to playing outside and exploring our new town. I already told my son that most of our summer will be sightseeing like the tourists!
I have a few things already planned, like Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. Touring the Flagler College is also on the list. While that may seem boring, the building and architecture is beautiful! I’m sure I’ll put some more St. Augustine day trips on our agenda.
I really want to check out Jacksonville, too! There is so much to do here and us being new to the area, we have so much to see! I heard the Jacksonville Zoo is beautiful! And let’s not forget the beaches! I already got us some Living Social coupons for Dairy Queen for after a long hot day at the beach!
But… I know there will be some hot days and we will not want to go outside at all! Here’s where movies and computers come into play! There are some great movies coming out this summer and I’m sure we will also be renting our fair share.
Computer games are fun too. I will be having the kids do some computer “school” as well to keep their minds fresh over the summer! And when it comes to just having fun on the computer, I found a new website where you can play games online; it’s called Iplay, and they have games available streaming online or to download. They have games just for women and kids too. I was checking it out and started playing Bubble Town. It’s kind of like the Bubble Blaster on my phone, which my daughter and I play all the time!
Then I found Kindergarten for Savannah to play. It’s more like a daycare where you have to take care of the babies. After playing two games she turned to me and said, “Taking care of babies is hard work!” So true!
The main thing I am looking forward to this summer? Sleeping in!

What are you doing this summer?
Enjoy your extra sleep! We are looking forward to playing at the local splash pad.
The weekends. My schedule is so busy I am looking forward to sleeping in until 9AM on the weekends and being able to have some down time instead of running around. Enjoy your extra sleep!!
I’m just looking forward to some down time. I’m so glad summer is here.
I’m definitely planning to enjoy the beach and vacation in Orlando and maybe Tampa area.
You’re already more planned than I am. I have no idea what we’re doing, aside from taking it kind of easy.
You are so lucky to live in gorgeous FL! I live in KS and there is far less to do LOL!
But, since there isn’t much to do here, I now know of some new apps and games – thanks!
I’m having a baby this summer! lol 😉
I have tons of crafts, experiments and activities planned for the boys as well as some trips early on. We plan to fit some summer learning in there too. Well, I plan to sneak it in really. 🙂
Like Becca, going to have a baby this summer! 🙂
We dont have too much planned. Just some low key activities to keep the kids busy.
I want to take a trip to the ocean this summer.
Spending evenings outside playing late! Happy Summer!!
That Alligator Farm sounds cool!
Sounds like you are going to have a really fun summer!
I’ve got some press trips planned for myself this summer, but we’re also doing a family vacation (paid press trip) to Key West. One of my favorite places to visit down here.
I love games like these. Time management games are fun.
Lots of plans but one day at a time! Enjoy the summer!
I am looking forward to not rushing around in the morning. While sleeping in has never been a strong point for me I do feel rushed getting the kids ready and will be glad to have a break from that.
Vacation will be close to home this summertime. Small trips but big activity.
