Since there are only four weeks left until the school year ends, and we are already having summer weather, it is time to start thinking about our summer plans. Miss M and J have several local camps they will be attending throughout the summer, but there are also lots of lazy, hot summer days to enjoy. The last few years we have made a summer bucket list and it has led to a lot of fun summertime memories. So, in no particular order, here is this year's list:
- Pick berries at a U-Pick Farm
- Make freezer jam (Mom)
- Make fizzing sidewalk paint
- Make giant bubbles
- Create a giant sidewalk chalk mural
- Make and fly a kite
- Learn how to hand sew (Miss M)
- Do a loom weaving project
- Finish Chess and Communications merit badges (J)
- Hunt for fossils
- Make homemade ice cream
- Make root beer floats
- Have a family Iron Chef night
- Go on a photo scavenger hunt
- Watch a movie outside
- Make homemade popsicles
- Have a watermelon seed spitting contest
- Go geocaching
- Play miniature golf
- Watch for shooting stars
- Make sun tea
- Make homemade lemonade
- Ride the train into the city for a special lunch with Daddy
- Play flashlight tag
- Sign up for the Library Summer Reading Program
- Make clothespin fairies (Miss M)
- Make a backyard obstacle course
- Do a fence weaving project
- Make shorts for Little Dresses for Africa (J and Mom)
- Go to the Grossology exhibit at the science museum
- Do a one-day road trip somewhere we've never been
- Have a breakfast picnic at the park
- Plant a fairy garden
We may not get to all of these things this summer, but we will be having fun and trying some new things along the way! You can see more summer bucket list ideas

You have some awesome ideas on your Summer Bucket List. Really love the one about having an Iron Chef night! Great way to get the kiddo involved in making dinner. Have a great Summer!
We just visited the Grosslogy exhibit with our school field trip. The kids had a blast! I didn't realize we live so close to each other.
I also have a summer bucket list with linky, feel free to drop by and add your post!
