Summer Bucket List

The boys are ridiculously excited about summer (I am too, but that should only last about a week) and have created a summer bucket list. We're also singing the annual "Summer of fun" family jingle already, just so we're completely ready for the summer kick-off party (which only includes the 4 of us, but still.) It's going to be a busy and...interesting few months. The list includes:

Print summer checklist

rollerskate
ice skate
find shark teeth
learn about Greek myths
watch old episodes of the Muppets Show
make a working volcano
make and eat ice cream
make huge dominoes trail to knock over
Design and print custom summer bingo game and play

Make a working CAT-apult (cat shaped, with one paw that will throw catnip bombs)
Kids learn to kayak

Go to Cocoa Beach and learn to surf

Complete everything on list and celebrate with frozen yogurt celebration

At least 2-3 new items get added to the list daily. Sometimes I "forget" to add things, because I'm "forget"ful.

(and because it's already a pretty long list....)

Fun list! Not sure if you have an ice cream maker but I love making ice cream in a bag with kiddos. I have the recipe here http://preppypinkcrocodile.blogspot.com/2007/10/ice-cream-in-bag.html

Happy almost summer!

What? No "Go visit Oklahoma"? Come visit! Actually, I think we are headed your way in the fall. I don't pay much attention to vacation plans- I just wait for Mr. Sasha to tell me when to pack and when we are leaving.
