So it looks like our dates are switching from April to August 17-24th. Seems to be the best time for us since I really dont want to pull DD15 out of school. She only gets so many absences per semester and if she goes over it affects her grades. I have never been in the summer and always said I wouldnt but I also dont want to wait until next April either. If anyone here has been during the summer, what are the good things about it? I am hoping for some positive points. I know it will be very hot so drinking water is a must and wearing sunscreen is another very important one. Is there anything else that I should know as well? Thanks in advance for any help.
