How is it already summer vacation? I think I remember the month of March but I really can’t remember April or May. This year is going by way too fast! Now that the kiddos are home with me for the summer, we had to come up with our 2016 Summer Fun Ideas and Bucket List because that is one of our favorite things to do.
Not only does it allow the kiddos to share what they want to do and be a part of the activities selection process, it also provides ideas of things we can do when we don’t officially have things planned. Because plans can change and things happen, it is always best to remind the kiddos that you may not get through them all (we totally didn’t last year).
