Zipping Around this June Holidays
Tiger girl’s favourite pink shoes
In a few weeks time the kids will be having the month long school holidays. It would be a really busy time for the kids and me as we embark on our whirlwind adventure as we take to the skies again travelling to different countries.
Vacations are a time whereby we break away from the normal routine and try out something different. It is always a fun learning experience for the whole family.
Here is a list of 13 things which I love about being on vacation.
- The kids don’t have to wake up early and rush off to school.
- We get to visit other countries and learn more about their culture and language.
- We get to meet up with friends/ relatives which we may not have the chance to see during school days.
- Play dates and excursions for the kids.
- Learning occurs outdoors and the kids gets lots of opportunities to try out hands on activities.
- We get more time to do crafts and experiments.
- Lots of time to do reading and research on topics which the kids are interested in.
- Watch movies/ plays.
- Have time to just sit there and chill.
- Revisiting academic topics which the boys are weak in so they get extra time learning it.
- Learning new dishes to cook/bake as a family.
- Have time to spring clean the house with the kids.
- Time to sit down and plan what I intend to do with the kids/ my own goals etc after having a 1/2 year review.
What do you like about vacations?
What will you be doing this Summer vacation?

Hehe I have yet to think about what to do this June since Angel is in private school and doesn’t really get a long holiday. I am still hoping maybe we can go on a short overseas trip though, have you planned your vacation for this year already? =) Sounds like a great list of things to do, your kids are lucky to have you planning so many activities for them! =)

I would love to go to the beach, it’s been a long time never swim in the ocean so that would be first on my list, visiting relatives and friends too is another fun thing to do and the rest will be just family bonding.

I do like the break from everyday life. You’ve got a great list of productive things to do! My favorite things about vacation usually revolve around just being instead of always doing. Stopping by from Mama Kat’s. 🙂

In all how wonderful! The chill time is the best, and the new and exciting things as well, besides sharing with your loved ones too! Wonderful!

It’s nice to think about vacation and I hope that we could hit the beach this summer. If not, will probably go to water park or do something fun for the kids. Great list, Sis 🙂

I can’t wait for summer vacation! I look forward to swimming lessons for the kids, the warmer weather and spending more time outdoors. Have a terrific weekend!

Beach! And doing nothing 🙂 How I wish you can get away from work and not thinking about work at all.

I get to visit with family, which I don’t get to do all the time. And I have the whole day to do what I usually get done only on the weekend! {:-D

The fact that the kids can sleep in and we don’t have to rush off to school every morning is by far my FAVORITE thing about summer!

I like to just relax on vacations, but sometimes they get kind of hectic.

Zipping around is what we do when we have offspring. Sounds like you’re all in for some fun adventures.
