Thursday was our last day of school. Since we're unschooling, the last day of school isn't as amazingly exciting as if the kids were in a regular school. It wasn't even as exciting as when they were normally homeschooled, where we could finally shuck our schedule and indulge in days of wide open freedom. But I maintained the tradition of having a "last day of school" celebration so they would have some way of marking the end of one 'year' and the start of a new one, when we start up again in August. The only thing different about "school year" vs. "summer vacation" will be a few minutes of handwriting and math each day. That's pretty much it!
We celebrated by going to Jamba Juice. We sipped our smoothies and talked about what fun things we'd like to do during the summer. This is the list the boys came up with:
- water park
- beach
- point Lobos
- Carmel
- get ice cream
- go see a movie
- Jamba Juice
- Take pictures
- family adventures
- buy a monster truck wheel (???)
- plant a tree
- playdates
Afterwards we went to Target to pick up some summer goodies, like a Slip 'n Slide, some water balloons, and bubbles for Lucy. It was a spicy hot day in the Bay Area, so the boys set up the Slip 'n Slide as soon as they got home.
