I’ve decided to create my own Summer Break 2011 challenge!
There’s 80 days in our official summer break here in Las Vegas and today is the first actual day of vacation. My challenge is to do at least one fun thing with the kids each and every day during summer vacation. It could be a simple small activity at home or something huge out and about, so long as it’s something!
I will keep a link to this post the entire summer and update it quite often to keep a running tally of the wonderful things we do during our (first ever here in Las Vegas) summer vacation! I hope I make it one for my kiddos to remember.

What a cool idea!
Sounds like a great challenge!!! If you are out and about doing fun, local things with your kids, link up with us! Starting tonight at 10PM EST, we’ll have the “Show us your Town Hop” starting. It’s to show off all of the fun, local things going on in your community! Would love seeing some of your fun stuff from “out west”. Have a great weekend! Good Luck with your challenge!
