Summer Plans

I think I asked this last year, too, so curious me will ask this
year. What's everyone doing with their kids this summer?

DS (10) and DD (12) are again on a summer swim team that
meets each morning during the week for practices, and
there's a meet every weekend. DD can bike to the practices
-- DS is still a bit young for that -- maybe next year.
Swim season ends the first weekend in August with a big
city-wide meet. DS and DD are at the top of their
respective age brackets (9-10 and 11-12), so they have
an advantage this year.

Their afternoons are completely empty. So far.

DS is also going to take fencing lessons -- he's totally into
swordplay, because he loves all things Tolkien/Eragon/Fantasy
novels. I'm hoping DD will be babysitting a lot around the
neighborhood as well -- she's totally gone mall-shopping
teenager, and needs to fund her addiction. Thankfully, she
shops for bargains, most of the time. DD has two weeks of
camp lined up as well, one week in July with a different
family -- they take her every year -- and one week in
August where she'll know nobody. I think she'll have fun
both weeks.

Their grandparents will also be in town for a week in July.

Our vacation plans are up in the air, 'cause I'm supposed
to go to India sometime this summer to train some people,
in Delhi. But the week when I do that isn't set! But I
do want to get to the Twin Cities to see the Bodyworks
exhibit at the Science Museum. That's just a daytrip
or an overnight.
