Summer holidays

It is holiday time for kids and testing time for parents. It may sound funny but it is a testing time for home makers because they don't know how to engage children for whole day and can't take risk of moving outside scorching summer.What are your general plans? For most of the mother's summer time is for visiting their parent's house. Especially those who are far away from their parents, will definitely like to visit their parents during summer to engage children outside their comfort zone ie., home. When i suggest my kids who are 11 and 9 year boys that we will plan and visit pilgrim places, the immediate reaction is a big "NO not again". How many times we should only visit temples and temples always? my younger one shouts. "Papa why don't we go to Shimla, Ooty or such kind of places than just Shirdi, tirupati etc.". I have to pacify them saying visiting holy places gives us peace and prosperity and more importantly good health by the blessings of the deity on our visit. Recently my mother asked the kids"guys get ready, your papa may come home little early and it is his wedding anniversary and he will take you out in the evening. Pat came the reply "What so big deal? Anyways we have to visit some temple as usual and it has been the trend since UGADI". "Can he anytime think and have some innovative thoughts to take us to some nice places to enjoy around?" I was also feeling little disturbed that young generation are not really get motivated by visiting only temples and i need to take them for a nice dinner at a reasonable budget hotel and then try and take them to IMAX or some multiplex to watch the most punishing movies of our lives and coupled with doling out monies for that junk stuff arranged in a nice kiosks/eateries inside these multiplexes. Movie watching is definitely a great experience if you are watching in these giant screens but the associated costs are also gives us great experiences to remember. However, deviated from the main topic. Best way to enjoy summer holidays for kids would be joining them in Summer camps organised by schools or some other institutions and making kids utilize their best of the summer holidays by learning new subjects and also reading some exciting books.
