We didn’t go on long, fancy vacations as kids.

Cash wasn’t readily available, plus crops needed to drink and livestock needed to eat.

We didn’t own a cabin by the river or a house on wheels.

And it took me 41 years to own a passport, so there was no international traveling in my youth.

Still, Mom and Dad took us to the ocean twice.

To the east coast when I was 8.

To the west coast when I was 15.

Those vacations were lovely.

But so was that time our family rented a van and drove a few hours into the mountains. We spilled an entire box of Nerds on the van floor and laughed so hard our sides hurt.

So was that time we hopped in the car and drove a couple hours to our favorite hotel. We swam until our fingers were pruny and drank so much apple juice at breakfast we thought we’d explode.

So was that one summer it rained so much the pond overflowed and we jumped off trees into the murky water and floated under wide open skies.

I guess my point is this:

Don’t let social media fool you. Big vacations are lovely, yes. And if you can get away—do it! But summer is already winding down, and if you simply didn't have the funds or the time for a vacation this year—PLEASE, don't let the guilt find you.

Kids don’t need fancy trips to have a memorable summer.

Hop in the pool and swim with them.

Buy a tub of ice cream, some sprinkles, a few cones, and eat until you’re stuffed.

Walk in the river and find creatures.

Head to your local library to check out new books.

Bake cookies and paint rocks.

Play a mean game of UNO.

Go to the county fair and pet a pig.

Watch a movie under the stars.

Kids don’t need money to make memories.

They just need you.

I promise—that’s better than any vacation you’ll ever give them.

I love that the teaching community is discussing the importance of phonics!

Students need daily practice with blending & segmenting fstarting early in the kindergarten school year.

Phonics without blending or segmenting is like a racecar without gasoline!
