Last year we had a whole list of things we wanted to do... and we accomplished most of them. This year I loved this Summer Bucket list post and decided to think of things a little bit more ahead of time. Our plans won't be as spontaneous as the post I just mentioned, but I think we'll try to sit down each week and plan for the following week as a family (at least for the smaller, local activities). I CANNOT believe it is almost summer already!!
Kevin's question once we created this list was... are there enough days in the summer to do all of this? Who knows? But we're going to try!

K, that's what I've come up with so far. Some of the things are redundant... the ice cream and treat ones that sound redundant are NOT, we just love treats and ice cream :)
If you have fun ideas that I am missing... pass them along! I am also cataloging some of these on Pinterest.
Happy June 1st! Summer is here!
