Brain Gym

I had the idea to not let my kids lose all their learning over the summer by requiring them to do a bit of mental work each day.  We have a random assortment of workbooks and puzzle books to use.  They started out strong, and Alice did fine.  One of Simon's activities was a maze, which he loved, so he asked for more. I found another one in a different activity book, but Simon got frustrated  and obstinate when it was challenging.  I don't know how these kids make it through a day of school.

When he finally finished it (with my help) he rushed off the art room to make a maze to punish me.

After lunch, we spent the afternoon at the pool.
