So the kids don't completely lose the routine of practicing the piano, reading and doing chores in the summer they can earn points for doing those things. They total their points together to earn fun things like going to the movies (they have earned: Up, Night at the Museum, and the newest Harry Potter). One thing they wanted to use their points for was a campout in the backyard. Sad but true, this is the only camping I really enjoy--mostly because there is no packing or planning involved!
