I am eagerly awaiting the beginning of summer - my oldest is out on Thursday! While I may come to regret these words mid July I must say I that I am so excited to have the girls home to hang out with. I really do enjoying taking them places and doing things with them during the summer. We will most likely keep our schedule from last year which was one beach day a week and one pool day a week. The other days are open to do whatever else we feel like.
To combat the "I AM BORED" comments that I am bound to hear the other days of the week I came up with a Summer Fun List with some fun crafts, games, and things to do at home to put on the list. Because I am visual person I also added a board on my Pinterest page were I can tag all of my ideas .I did some quick calculations and I need 30 activities for us to do while the girls are out of school.
After working, thinking and selecting I came up with an AWESOME list. Since I love all of you I will share the fun ideas I cam up with! Here is our Summer Fun list with links
I printed all the ideas out, cut them into strips and placed them in our piggy bucket. I will let the girls take turns picking what we do on our days at home. To keep track of everything I found these adorable summer calendars on Anything But Perfect.
After the girls choose what we are going to do the next day they can write it on the calendar. I also wrote in our beach days, pools days and the first day of school so I know when the fun will be over!

Awesome! I want to make one of these too and I think Im going to steal a whole bunch of your ideas :)
Just thought I'd mention that you have play hide n seek twice. You could add another number 7 but instead of cousins it could say friends in Henderson ;-)
Ohh I thought I fixed that! Oh well I changed it now - just for you Genevieve!
You guys are going to have so much fun this summer!
Come share your list at Our Summer Bucket List linky!
