Writer's Block: Summer Break
Jul. 1st, 2007 10:51 pmHow did you spend summers when you were a kid?
Ummm - this is such a general question that's it's hard to answer. However I'll give it a shot.
Just to note - "Summer" in Australia is over December/January so it covers Christmas (which plays into my explaination). My parents owned fashion jewelery shops so Dec = very busy month. As a result for about 4 or 5 years for the week before Christmas my sister and I went to Summer Camp for about a week. It was really good fun. Otherwise we might either stay home, go into work (that is be taken around various shopping centres) or stay with a sitter.
In January we usually went to my grandma's house for about a week. Of course, my sister is born in January so we had a party for her then. Once we went to New Zealand to see my other grandma, which was nice as she died later that year.
Apart from all this we did the usual things - mainly swim, laze around the house, play games etc
