Our Summer Bucket List

My friend, Julie, has a wonderful blog, Creekside Learning.  She is the put together blogger and homeschool mom that I aspire to be.  A couple of weeks ago, Julie and the Creekside Family came up with a Summer Bucket List, and I thought that was a fabulous idea.  The other night, while putting B to bed, we thought up all the things we'd love to do this Summer.  Our list is very ambitious (read - too long and unattainable) but that's us!  I look at it this way - everything we don't get done this Summer will carry over to next year so we won't have to create a list then.  :o)  So here it is:

Our Summer Bucket List

1. Drive-in movie
2. Zoo
3. Amusement or water park
4. Beach
5. Skateboarding camp
6. Gymnastics camp
7. Cartooning camp
8. Get an Avengers LEGO set
9. Free Summer movies
10. Go out for ice cream
11. Catch an ice cream truck
12. Make our own ice cream
13. Sleepover with best friend
14. Sprayground
15. Lay in the backyard and admire the stars
16. Campout in the backyard
17. Make s'mores
18. Have friends over for a BBQ
19. Whenever we want/need to go to the library, walk instead of drive
20. Save a life
21. Art classes at home
22. Pick berries
23. Go on a nature hike
24. Make a new friend
25. Scavenger hunt through the alphabet with a camera
26. Get B to ride a bike
27. Michael's in-store passport crafts
28. Vacation Bible School
29. Minor league baseball game

Since we made the list, we have done #10 and #24.  Out of necessity (no car) we walked to the library twice in the week before making the list.  We enjoyed it so much, we put it on the list and committed ourselves to continue doing that.  He's already signed up for VBS later this month and I am working on getting him signed up for the camps he's interested in.  I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish from it this Summer!
