Summer Fun

With only a few more days until summer, I'm already gone in my mind... Grading? what is that anyways?

Just a quick list of things I've already started planning:

  • Story Time @ the library
  • swimming
  • gardening
  • making play dough
  • visit poppa
  • ride a merry-go-round
  • wash the car
  • go to the beach
  • water park
  • 4th of July Party
  • make bubbles
  • sun prints
  • finger painting
  • sidewalk chalk
  • sprinkler
  • county fair
  • famers market
  • camping
  • dig for dinosaurs
  • birthday parties!!
  • pick strawberries
  • hiking
  • play dates
  • mini golf
  • outside movies
  • play with Uncle James
  • Fun with cousins
It's quite a list! and doesn't include all the things currently on MY list. But we are going to attempt to get all of them done and have a rollicking good time. Now if only the weather would cooperate. It looks nice out there, but it's barely sixty with a strong cold sea breeze. Plus it keeps raining every other hour... not the best summer preview.
