Summer Reading

I always do a summer reading program with my kids. We usually have some type of chart to keep track of books read and we have a goal of how many books. This year each book earned a fish in our pond (little foam fish on a poster board) and our goal was to read 50 books. Obviously the little kids read more books than the older kids and mom because Adam reads very short books and the older kids read long books, but everyone has to have a few books on the chart. The reward is generally a fun outing that we only do if we read... it can't be something we do every summer no matter what. So this year the reward was a day pass at Snowbird to do all their fun summer activities: ziplining, alpine slide, bungee trampoline, rock climbing, tram to the top of the mountain, bucking bronco. It was really fun and we all had a good time.
