Summer Fun List

Time to get started again. 

I haven't made an entry in a very long time.  Not because I didn't have anything to say.  We've had quite a bit going on between a new baby and new house plans.  But I am going to try my best to get started again.

With summer here, I am so excited to get outside and play.  I love the longer days and sunshine.  But summer is usually packed.  Even though none of us are in school, it just seems like there are more trips to take, more events to go to, and less time to do it in.  So this summer I have a list.  I am determined not to get so bogged down with new house and new baby that Clay doesn't get his own summer fun.  I have tried seasonal activity lists before and not had much success following through.  I usually get so wrapped up in getting all supplies and instructions planned out before I start that it becomes overwhelming.  Hopefully though, between taking things one at a time and the added accountability of blogging, we will make it through our list and try some new things this summer.  Here is the list I have settled on.  The blue items and the ones Clay added:
