I still feel the same mix of joy and fear with every school holiday, then as they progress I realize the freedom of time and lack of homework and clubs is liberating for me and them! The zoo looks like a huge success and I am sure the local pool will be too. I think being that little bit older this year helps for you too. Thank you for linking up with me on Country Kids, I feel more adventured may be to come over your holidays together!Coombe Mill - Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10876037849361745669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-43654717811121026902012-08-09T23:22:58.548+03:002012-08-09T23:22:58.548+03:00I'm discovering that it is - who knew? :)I'm discovering that it is - who knew? :)Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-87821670720527245322012-08-09T22:39:54.741+03:002012-08-09T22:39:54.741+03:00Ohhh, how delicious.

My now 11 year old loves museums .Whenever we are in New York we go to the Met. he sets the pace and we go wherever he wants! So we spend ALOT Of time in the Ancient Egypt section and military and armor sections! but he also loves sculptures he tells me!! letting him be in charge of what where and when once we are at the museum has made all the difference. So glad you had such a wonderful day, I hope the next 19 are just as much fun.<br />GillyGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-14526471758265468982012-08-09T14:04:05.047+03:002012-08-09T14:04:05.047+03:00Really lovely to hear that the holiday is turning ...Really lovely to hear that the holiday is turning our better than you had anticipated.

I also have to work some days... I will do the bare minimum - just get orders out and no strategizing or putting up new products... 4 days we are going camping and I am going to go cold turkey and not check email in this time, and devote myself to my children (and a good paperback or two).... we have a swimming pool subscription... so that will take up some time - I tend to do one day in Yokneam, and 1 day further afield - but with the price of petrol not prepared to go too far afield....janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064990087360509336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-67120867624254106932012-08-08T23:26:51.579+03:002012-08-08T23:26:51.579+03:00Sounds like so much fun!

They had $5 admission tickets available for all the fools like me who forget that the heat and humidity down at the tip of Florida is oppressive. We parked ourselves in front of those misters and ignored the animals most of the time! The kids said they had fun, and I promised I would never go back there...Esterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934256824361733440noreply@blogger.com
