In early June we started talking about fun things we wanted to do this summer. I grabbed a piece of paper and started writing them down. As we think of new things we've been adding to the list, which is now three pages long. We've done some of these now; I may tape the list on the pantry door so we think about it more often.

That list makes me tired! How will you do it all? :-)
We'll be doing some of the same things. Including coming to the new sprayground there in Norman!!
Thanks for the reminders of some fun summer things to do!!
I have no plan to do it ALL, or at least not by the end of summer; that's my secret! This way the kids don't feel that I'm forgetting what they want to do, and we can look at all of our ideas any time we want to do "something".
