It is very hard to believe, but most of us will be returning to school in just a few weeks. To help you get ready, I have prepared a pop quiz. Put your summer to the test and see if you have had enough fun and relaxation. Simply answer the following questions and follow the grading/point system to see how your summer measures up.

• Did your family slice open a watermelon and let the juice pour down your arms? (yes = 5 points)

• Did you take in a summer family movie like Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E, or Kit? (5 points for each family blockbuster)

• Does your corner snow cone stand know you by name or have your favorite flavor memorized? (yes = 5 points)

• Did you visit Blue Bayou or a splash park? Jambalaya Park or even the Shaw Center fountains can count. (20 points for Blue Bayou; 10 points for splash parks)

• Did you operate or frequent a lemonade stand? (yes = 10 points)

• Do you have a serious flip-flop tan? (yes = 10 points)

• Did you require your kids to do summer math?!? (yes = take away 5 points)

50+ points – You win the title of "Fun Expert" and probably feel relaxed and ready for school to start. You also probably have your book bags, school supplies, and uniforms purchased!

30-49 points – You can do it! Try to make time for some relaxation these next few weeks so you don't burn out by Halloween.

0-29 points – Get out of the office or the house ASAP! You have a lot of fun to cram into a short period of time.
