Who says summer vacation is about being lazy? Heather Dubrow and her family have certainly been defying that expectation this season. And as summer begins to wind down and the school year grows closer and closer, we're feeling a bit of summer vacation envy while scrolling through the Real Housewives of Orange County mom's Instagram account. The final few weeks of summer have been filled with day trips, camp fun, and dress up.

Here's a little recap. (BTW, you can read more from Heather on the upcoming school year, here.)

Collette spent part of her summer trying on her mom's couture.

Meanwhile Max and Nicky were busy getting in a lot of outdoor activities at summer camp-- before coming home to a very warm welcome.

But before they came back, the rest of the family did a number of activities without them, including cooking lessons, horse rides and a trip to Legoland. We hope they weren't too jealous.

Check out some more snaps from the Dubrow family, below.
