See what Phineas and Ferb are up to this summer vacation

According to Phineas and Ferb, there are one hundred and one days of summer vacation -- trust me, I know. I listen to their theme song often enough! Phineas and Ferb is my kids' favorite animated series, and they're not alone; "Phineas and Ferb" is TV's number one animated series in Prime among kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14, and has been for tweens for the past 3 years. They love watching Phineas and his stepbrother Ferb cook up all kinds of crazy schemes and gadgets while their sister Candace tries repeatedly (and unsuccessfully) to get their parents to see what they're up to. I think they must feel a special affinity because Phineas and Ferb look like they're the same age -- kind of like 3Po and Jammy, who are twins -- and they have an older sister Candace -- kind of like The Pea! I never hear so many peals of delighted laughter coming out of our living room as when Phineas and Ferb is turned on!

Anyway, it looks like Phineas and Ferb are going to be busy for all one hundred and one of those days. Just look at what they have planned for the summer!
