I am so happy summer is here, even if it means I'm generally a sweaty mess! Back in June, I was thinking about how fast time flies and wanted to make a list of SIMPLE things that I wanted to do with my kids before school starts.
This is not a Pinterest mom's list of matching outfits, difficult crafts, expensive vacations.
No, no.
This is a quick list that you can make location-specific to where you are!
- Local trails to walk/hike
- Local biking trail
- Berry picking
- Pick wildflowers
- Plant wildflowers
- Backyard camping
- Pool day with friends (search for local splash pads, too if a pool is hard to find!)
- Bonfire + roast marshmallows
Inside:
- Tie-dye
- Rainy day movie in a fort
- Make juice/smoothie popsicles
- Bake banana bread
- Volcano experiments/eruptions
- Visit a new library
- Rearrange the furniture
- Bowling (check kidsbowlfree.com)
- Beach day trip (or a lake or whatever's near you!)
- Zoo trip, bonus points if a library/friend has a membership and you can go for free!
- Trip to a local lake
- Kids museum
And here's my actual list, handwritten and messy and personalized to us!
