SUMMER FUN LIST

E and I sat down to review her Summer Fun List. We wanted to see what was left to check off before going back to school. This list shows the true innocence of children. It really comes back to the simple things in life.

E was thrilled on what she had accomplished!

1. Ride Bikes- we do that almost every day if it isn't raining, which has been a lot.

2. Watch Butterflies- we were able to see an exhibit in York.

3. Pick Flowers- We pick wild flowers on our walks. E loves to give me bouquets of dandelions:)

4. Hug my Mommy and sister- E has no problem with this. But when it has rained for the 10 days in a row, the hugs were not there:)
5. Go to Boston- Not yet, but it's in the works!

6. Grammy's House- Grammy always comes to us, but we haven't made it out there yet. We will go soon:)

7. Beach- We have had a great Beach Summer, despite the weather. I grew up with lakes so it's different for me. I'm going to have to learn to love the sand, because I have two beach babies.

8. Have playdates with friends- We have had no problem meeting up with our friends and making new ones this summer.

9. Hug and Love- See #4

10. Davisfarmland- I think we are there at least 2 times a week. C actually recognizes Moo Moo now (their mascot).

11. Join reading program at the Library- The reading program at the Library started on June 20th. E has always loved books read, and looking at books on her own. The reading program is just a good way to encourage reading.
12. Go to the Park- We have tried out a lot of new parks this year! E always finds a buddy, and I chase C. Next Summer I think I will be able to sit back and sip my lemonade and just watch LOL:)
13. Pretending- E is always had a wonderful imagination. All the playtime has only made it better!
14. Go to an Art Museum- Not yet, any suggestions on a great one? Not to overwhelming.

15. Go to the zoo- We went to York Wild Kingdom while in York.

16. Go to a Farmers Market- Haven't done this yet, but will have this checked off soon!

17. Taking care of our family garden- Trying too...with all the rain our garden is struggling. We need sun!!

18. Eat Ice Cream- OF COURSE:)

19. Go to a party- We have been invited to several family parties, and BBQs. E is a social butterfly so she has definitely enjoyed this.

20. Go to Pump it UP- Not yet

21. Learn about animals- We spent a week on the beach exploring all the hermit crabs, and snails.

22. Ride a roller coaster- This may have to wait, but E did go on the Ferris wheel with both N and I.

23. Berry Picking- We went Blueberry Picking, and E picked more than she ate this year:)

24. Hang on trees- Does Monkey Bars count?

25. Run up and Down hills- To be a kid again:) E and C love doing this with each other.

26. Eating Desert for Dinner- Not yet, need to find the perfect time for this one!

27. Play nice, have fun, listen, and be kind- It's all good:)

Hope you enjoy her list. It's something I will always treasure. Summer is a time for memories. I'm lucky to be able to help make these memories, and share them as well.
