Happy first day of summer!
We finally put together our summer fun list and from the looks of it, we'll have plenty to keep us busy this year.
This year I decided to put the list on a scrapbook page and it will hang on our fridge all summer long.
We have 28 items on the list with a few blank spaces in case we come up with any new ideas.
Also, I listed a few goals and projects that I would like the kids to accomplish this summer.
- Conner - complete his Arrow of Light in Cub Scouts and learn to cook 2-3 meals by himself.
- Payton - make progress on his Wolf badge and learn to mow the lawn
- Anna - practice reading & phonics (to prepare for kindergarten) and learn to ride a bike.
Anna learned to ride her bike last week immediately after her training wheels were taken off, so I guess we can cross that one off!
In case you can't read the list . . . .
go to idaho * go to california * cub scouts day camp * go to the coast * be in a parade * go camping * trampoline with sprinklers * hike * lemonade stand * plan and put on mother/son activity * frisbee golf * water balloons * star gazing * complete the summer reading program at the library * walk to bike to get ice cream * keep a summer journal * make summer scrapbooks * homemade popsicles * summer treasure hunt * go to a water park * see Cars 2 * make giant bubbles * plant zinnias * pajama and movie playdate * pick raspberries and make jam * swimming lessons * send fun mail to cousins * daddy/daughter date
As always, some items are things that are already on the calendar, and most of it is stuff we hope to do. We're not worried about crossing everything off the list. It just gives us some ideas and direction so we don't waste away the summer.
Are you ready? I am. Have a wonderful summer!
