This was a very interesting turn of events for me.  Just recently I became the Nevada State Rep for Time4Learning.com’s forums.   It’s a new forum where you can ask questions about any topic that you need more information on.  From questions about Time4Learning itself to questions about your individual state, whatever your question, there is someone there that can help you.

Come stop by and chat awhile!

So I think it’s kinda funny that my sons are all happy that it’s Summer Vacation.  They are home all the time, they don’t have to “go to” school, but somehow “Summer” means something extra special for them.  I know that part of it is because they are watching TV and have friends and family who are in “traditional” school and everyone is talking about school being out.  But I wonder if they think that things are going to be THAT different?

This month my family is going on a little trip to The Great Basin National Park for a weekend field trip and star party.  Steve has a nice sized telescope and we’ve been to star parties before, but never at one of the darkest places in the country.  So this should be amazing!  We’re also going to be going to Lehman Caves and to see the Upper Pictograph Cave.  There is really a lot to see and do up there and the National forest website even has some curriculum to go over before the trip.  And the boys thought they were off for the summer!  HA!

I just found a great program for this summer. Kids Bowl Free is a program that you can sign up for to allow your kids to receive a coupon for 2 free bowls a day during the summer. The age restrictions, and program dates vary from center to center, and this program is not offered in every state, so check out their website. You can also get a discounted summer family pass for under $25 for up to 4 adults or older children to play during the summer.

Have fun!
So if you love bowling… or even if you’d just like to try it out, this is a great opportunity for you!
