Summa Time. Summa Time. Sum, Sum Summa Time.
Last summer, Georgia kind of got the shaft as far as summer goes. She got to go to lots of OB/GYN appointments with me. That was loads of fun. She got to sit in the air conditioned house with me. That was more fun than you could shake a stick at, for sure. It wasn't because I was a major slacker and didn't want to do anything with her that made our summer a bit boring. I just couldn't do much of anything with these twins zapping all of my energy.
Now, that's not to say that we didn't do a darn thing last summer. She took swim lessons at the YMCA twice a week. We went to the zoo a couple of times. We took trips to the library. We made plans with good friends for play dates.We even ventured out to the Indiana State Fair (with the hopes of all that walking inducing labor.....it didn't work). But while these things were great, it just wasn't the summer I was hoping to have with her before she entered full day school.
So to make up for last summer, this summer is going to be epic! Well, we are at at least going to get out the side walk chalk and go to town coloring the drive way! Anyway, here is a list of ideas that I thought would be fun to do this summer. Things that will get us out of the house. Things that will make us more active. Things that will get our creative juices going. Things that don't cost a ton of money.
Fletcher Lichti Summer Bucket List 2013
1. Going to the zoo. We already have a zoo membership, it's really a must do at least 2 times.
2. Going to the library. And not just going get books every few weeks, actually doing some of the activities....going to the free movies, doing the summer reading program.
4. Go on a picnic. We have a state park pass. There is no reason why we should not go and use it!
5. Go swimming at the YMCA (not just swim lessons).
6. Go to Lake Michigan. We already have a cottage booked in South Haven, MI for a little vacation time!
8. Meet Daddy for lunch. It's a treat to see Daddy during the work day!
9. Go get ice cream!
10. Decorate the drive way with sidewalk chalk. And you thought I was kidding!!!
11. Garden!
12. Make homemade ice cream!
13. Bonfire
14. See fireworks
15. Go to the farmers market at the City Market.
16. Make Hopscotch Stepping Stones.
17. Make bird feeders, like these here.
18. Go to an Indians baseball game.
19. Make sun catchers like these.
20. Go to the Newport Aquarium in Cincinnati
There you have it....it's our summer of fun and we can't wait! Georgia doesn't get out of school until June 6, so some of this will have to wait for a couple more weeks, but at least we have our list ready to go!
