Summer Bucket List

I made a summer "bucket list" of 48 items I had wanted the girls (and specifically Sydney, since she's old enough to do a lot of fun things) to do.  I found this idea on Pinterest, and LOVED doing it.  It was a fun "goal" to have, to do all of these things.  It created some excitement about all the things we would get to do, and it was fun checking activities off the list.  It also helped me- when there was a lull in the day, I could pull out our list and find some activity to do.  We will definitely be doing this again next summer!  It's fun to look back at these activities and remember how much fun we had doing them. :)

As far as how we did- we did great!!  We were 46/48.  We were missing going to Bay Creek Park and going fishing.  I'm hoping to do these two things in the near future.  We did have to modify a couple of activities as well.
