Summer Bucket List ~ Take 2

Tomorrow is the first official day of summer. Finally. School is done next week and the girls will be home for two whole months. Gulp, what are we going to do? Time to make a list...our second annual Summertime Fun List. Last year we made a list, posted it and tried our best to make our way through the entire list. Some things didn't get done and some things got done many, many times. This summer I hope to be a little better organized with themes, or subjects, that we will try an explore each week. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to be "teaching" anything...but you know we'll be learning through play and exploration. The best way to learn, if you ask me. Here's what made our summer bucket list this year...

make our own sidewalk chalk

explore space with Chris Hadfield

ride our bikes to Cherry Beach

have a fabulous time at my sister-in-law's wedding

make a sun print

read at least one book a week

take a break from technology every single day

play volleyball with water balloons

learn about Nelson Mandela

make homemade popsicles...experiment with flavours and recipes

learn to play croquet

start and maintain a gratitude journal...the girls and me

make real lemonade

go berry picking

go to the zoo to see the pandas

join the Toronto Public Library Kids Book Club

teach the girls how to operate the sewing machine

learn about New York City - watch movies and read books

take bikes to the Toronto Islands

eat lots of veggies and herbs from the garden

teach the girls how to make one meal each...beginning to end

grow a pea tee-pee

fly a kite (always on our list and never seems to get done)

go to NYC for the US Open (tennis)

have a sleepover

 Well, there it is all written down. Do you think this will fill 2 months? I certainly hope so. If you're wondering what you can look forward to on the blog this summer...this list is a good place to start. What is on your summertime fun list? Any special vacation plans?
