New... I have archived all previous Book Talk Tuesday Posts at this blog! Stop by and see what we have posted. I thought it would be nice to have all BTT in one spot.
This week when you comment- tell us your plans foe summer vacation! Our summer vacation begins in 7 days. My only plan so far is to spend the entire day- from open to close- at the pool on the first day of vacation. I have promised my 7 year old that we will go all day and even eat lunch there. Other than that- we plan on hitting Chicago and Des Moines. I see lots of sidewalk chalk and trips to the park in my future! What about you?

Summer vacation plans: hang out at the beach, hike, throw rocks in lake superior, a couple family vacations, soccer, and try to say no to all other organized activities so that the kids can just play.
ReplyDeleteNo big plans. The little one is signed up of a huge amount of daycamps that she's excited about.
ReplyDeleteThank you for asking about my summer plans. My summer plans are to read with my friends and to swim with my friends and to eat popsicles with my friends but only cherry popsicles because I don’t like grape or orange popsicles. Kelly, I hope you have fun at the pool and get to see sidewalk chalk drawings of rhinoceroses and giraffes and that you get to eat cherry popsicles or grape or orange popsicles if those are the flavors you like best. And other person who left a comment, I hope you have fun throwing rocks in the lake because that can be a lot of fun as long as you don’t accidentally hit a swimming telekinetic puppy or her sea monster friend or her other swimming friends. Good-bye.
ReplyDeleteSummer plans: working as a summer school librarian in another district, doing data entry, attending local outdoor orchestra concerts and attending a renaissance faire.
ReplyDeleteSomebody left a link to Goodreads.com
ReplyDeleteAlthough I love Goodreads, it was unclear who was writing the review... so I removed the link. If you can link to your specific Goodreads review, please repost.
Thanks,
Kelly
Summer plans? Getting ready for my September wedding, which includes finding a dress and finalizing the preparations.
ReplyDeleteWe are moving this summer! From MA to FL - I see lots of boxes in my immediate future!
ReplyDeleteSorry for linking 3 posts, but we've discovered lots of books this last week that are too fun to keep to ourselves!
ReplyDeleteSummer plans: going west for the month of July to attend 2 family reunions.
I hope to accomplish everything Violet the Telekinetic Puppy has planned! Except that I love love love GRAPE popsicles and hope to eat so many that my tongue stays purple for at least half the summer!
ReplyDeleteI remember those all-day pool days! Now that they're teenagers, I'll be shuttling to music camp, math camp, computer camp... lots of driving, but good stuff! Also a trip to DC, which will be a great family time. Don't forget sunscreen! :)
ReplyDeleteWe will be enjoying our winter during your summer (as we live in Australia)! Our winter plans include a first visit to the snow for a wonderful Christmas in July. =)
ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeleteSummer plans for me include getting back to the US for family visits in Vermont, Boston, and Cape Cod - lots of swimming, any kind of popsicle, a Red Sox game, and of course reading reading reading!
PS: Best Wishes, Catherine!
We're going to California and North Carolina to visit grandparents, drawing, learning to play the violin, making volcanoes, reading, and hanging out with friends.
ReplyDeleteLike you Kelly, I have promised my 2 year old and 4 year old lost of time at the pool and Lake Texoma. We are road tripping it this summer to South Carolina, Kentucky (and all the places in between) as well as New Orleans. Looking forward to reading lost of chapter books and laying off the picture books for the summer!
ReplyDeleteAh, summers, the busiest time of year for the public librarian. I will be holding weekly events for kids and teens and running a summer reading club for as many kids as I can sign up. Though I will get to take some time off in August.
ReplyDeleteWe love to read lots of books when it is too hot to go outside during the summer.
ReplyDeleteSummer plans...what a fun topic of discussion. My girls and I are going to spend most of August at my mom's house in Florida. Plenty of sun and perhaps a trip to Disney World! My lucky husband is going to stay behind and enjoy some peace and quiet for a while :)
ReplyDeleteHope it is ok I'm including an old post on Book Talk Tuesday this week...in fact one of the oldest posts on my blog. Lots of girls and boys are having dance recitals this time of year, so the book I picked kind of goes along with that theme. Thanks for hosting once again!!
