So here I go again…. adding some more days to those crazy and unusual days that I’ve posted about before. This would be a great way to spice up a dull summer day when the kids are complaining about being bored.
July 20th is National Moon Day. It honors the first day that man set foot on the moon back 1969. It was declared a National Moon Landing Day by President Nixon in 1971. This is a great day to teach our kids about the moon and progress NASA has made.
You can find other ideas to celebrate on my Pinterest Board Homeschool: July. You can also find other ideas for other July Holidays there as well.
I’ve also got this great book that I’ll be reading to the kids on this day.
I’m thinking I might even get some Moon Pies and/or Astronaut Ice Cream for snack on this day to eat while they listen to the story.In addition to this book we may also check out some of these great videos and activities listed below:
Oh my goodness… I’ve yet another post that was forgotten about and never published. This one has given me quite a few smiles and I hope we have an even better summer this year. I have added a few things to our routines to try and make sure that we make this year even better than last! This post was from June 2018…
Wow! Can you believe summer is almost over? Where did it go?
I know we didn’t get to do nearly as much as we had planned which was in part due to the extremely wet weather we’ve had. We had several special projects that haven’t made it off of the paper yet either but I know we will eventually accomplish what we have set to do.
This summer has been so busy and so full of fun. Below are some of our favorite memories from this summer in no particular order:
We have all enjoyed reading about Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Everyone also enjoyed getting their library cards at our first visit to the local library.
Then ice cream is always a summer favorite!
They also love this picture they took with Elvis…
Jacob loved that he got to help out in the kitchen more thanks to the Kids Cook Real Foods course we’ve been using.
And he really loved helping to come up with new recipes like Cinnamon Roll Muffins.
Everyone also loved going to the movies several times this summer. We saw several movies including Jurassic World, The Incredibles, Jumanji, and The Ant Man.
Of course our camping trip to GA ranks up there in our favorite summer memories.
Spending time with family is always special.
We cant forget square dances and surprise text messages either.
The kids love playing games with their square dance friends.
I love it when I get to dance with Mr. Awesome….
Joey is still loving his new specs.
And all of the kids are loving the new games which have come handy as boredom busters during all this rainy weather.
I’m sure there are a ton of things we’ve forgotten about but these were the top few things we thought of. What are your favorite summer memories?
