What fun, so cool that you get to have fun in Japan. Wish I could visit.
I will be very, very sad when it comes time to leave at the end of the year. This has been a great duty station!! I am happy that toddler girl is able to experience this and we are able to incorporate it into learning.
Wow it sounds like you’ll be having an amazing time!
How awesome that Mt. Fuji is listed as a place to learn this summer! What an experience.
We have a few trips planned. We’re heading on a 8-night cruise later this month that has 4 ports of call, 3 of which are brand new countries for us to explore! Can’t wait!
Have fun on your cruise! Look forward to reading about your port calls in your blog.
What a great list – I sure wish we had that many things to do here in the mountains of Arizona. My son is already getting bored for the summer…aaahhh!! 🙂
Summer learning is so important! I hated sitting at a desk doing math equations during summer break, but I’m so thankful that my parents understood how important it was to reinforce what I had during the school year. I have to admit, your summer learning list sounds way more fun than mine ever was! I know that she will enjoy it!
I’m trying to make it as fun as possible. Monday will kick off our school year. Trying to make is fun for toddler girl and she enjoys school and learning.
