Episode 407 - School's Out, Now What? - Helping Kids of Every Age Take the Next Step

Yeah, so w- what are k- w- uh, you know, um, because we're gonna assume that you're gonna take some kind of break during summer, not just...

Even if you're doing, you know, year-round school, you should take breaks.

Um, w- I, and I hope you're taking a lot of them.

Um, but summer just feels like it should be something different, and I just wondered what some of those different things are.

Like, um, you know, w- I know your kids went to the zoo today, Ben.

Yep.

Um, you know, or, uh, I, uh, I've mentioned in the past about a mom who lives in South Dakota, and she made a poster board of 100 things she was gonna do during the summer, and she-

That's so fun

... they'd checked, they had checked off, like, I don't know, 50 or 60 of them.

And, you know, at first glance, 100 is a lot, but it was pretty simple things.

They were like sidewalk chalk outside and, you know, or, um, uh, splash in the puddles.

And they were, but...

And, and I just thought it was so intentional, and I thought, you know, maybe that'd be a f- kind of a fun conversation to have.

Um, I, I know Catherine, you're, you're the planner of the bunch.

Um, w- do you have things planned that you want to accomplish?

[laughs]

I know if my sister-in-law d- uh, Dawn was listening right now, she always, she always feels like-

[laughs]

... you know, she has to accomplish something, or she's a wasterel, you know? So-

Yeah, they're coming up to ride the Dixie.

Did you hear about that?

Oh, yeah, I heard.

I heard that.

[laughs] Uh, I feel like on our list, the zoo is always a classic.

Um, we wanna go to the Dunes.
