We already have a family reunion planned so I will use either the letter F or R that week.

I have a daughter with a birthday in the summer so on that week one of the letters we are using is the first letter of her name.

I like to pair “busy/big” letters with not so “busy” ones.

X & U are smaller letters with fewer activities and D & S are letters with more time intensive activities.

We celebrate the Fourth of July/Independence Day in July so we would use letter F or I that week.

In Utah we also celebrate Pioneer Day in July so P is saved for that week.

It also gets very hot in the summer in Utah so I am planning my Zoo trip for early in June to avoid the August heat.

I schedule the letter X during the week of my kids’ dentist appointment because they always get X-rays there.

Memorial Day is the last week of May so we use M for that week or V for Veterans.

If you have a Vacation planned for the summer use the letter V for that week.

Or if your vacation is in Disneyland use the letter D, Grand Canyon use the letter G, Moab use the letter M, etc.

We have swimming lessons in the summer as well and I like to use the letter S for that week.

The Dinosaur Museum my kids like offers big discounts on Tuesdays in August so I am planning on the letter D in August.
