It's time to decide what to do with the kids this summer for the months of July and August. Do I take my youngest out of daycare and save the fees? Then I would need to take the time off work. This would be a loss of income, but it would also be a reduction in costs too. Luckily, I'm self-employed and therefore have the option to do this. I'm leaning in that direction.
But then again, I might go crazy having my two boys home all summer. Either that or I'll become a very great skateboarder and bmx biker hanging out at those parks all day. And, my tan will be great too.
If I was going to put my little guys, ages 6 and 8, into summer camps, the best ones that I've found so far include the Okanagan Science Centre, Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, Vernon Recreation Centre camps, and the Vernon community arts centre.
Free things to do include visiting the skateboard parks, bmx track, hiking the bx creek trail, swimming at Paddlewheel Park (my favourite park in Vernon to go with kids), walking up at Silver Star Mountain Resort, visiting Davison's Orchards, driving to the Log Barn in Enderby to see the goats, and sending them off to grandma's for a week so they can get absolutely spoiled.
It's going to be a great summer!
cheers,
