Normally I am full of trepidation this time of year. I wonder "What am I going to do with them all day, every day?" But, after all the end of the year projects, make-up work, performances, field trips, dramas, olympics, field days, etc, etc, etc. I am worn out and ready for some flexibility and fun. We have been working on our Summer activity list like we did last year. We had so much fun keeping track of all the fun we had and keeping those ideas fresh in our minds last year, we just have to do it again. 
We have also started a tracking system. I have ordered little bracelet charms from here to keep the kids motivated to work on things during the summer. We are tracking how far they run, how far they bike, how many pages they read, and how many hours they practice piano. We will also be working on the reading program from the Public Library and earning free books from Borders and Barnes and Noble.
Looks like it will shape up to be a fun productive summer!

What a great idea...might just have to send my kids down every day for a new activity!!! Alright, I might just have to borrow it! :)
Sounds like you have some great plans for summer! We are really enjoying ours, but we have not organized like you. This year we are doing our music practice, reading and math everyday before we have friends over. So far so good!
Wow! Sis! Can I come play?! Sounds like you are going to have another epic summer! I am not surprised! You are the queen!
