Summertime Family Fun

First full week out of school and LeAnn and I are already having the discussions about how much time the kids should get in with electronics.  It's easy for me to suggest that be a low number because I am not at home during the day.

We have added something that I am having as much fun with as the kids.  We picked a classic, Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, to read this Summer as a family.  We have four copies so that all of us that read can read a chapter a night.  A couple of nights this week we have had the chance to read out loud together.

We might even throw in a book-on-cd for the trip to Florida in a couple of weeks.  I believe we are creating memories that a Playstation or TV station can't touch.

Excellent book. Growing up in Oklahoma, this was required reading! The boys will eat this up.

Great book...I remember that one fondly. I love the idea of reading together. I'll keep that one and use it in about six years.
