40 Fun Things
This summer has been dubbed the "Summer of Fun". By me. Mostly because when this summer is over I will be working and going to graduate school while trying to balance family life. I don't think we'll be doing a whole lot of extra fun things while I'm in school. Tonight we sat down and made a family list of fun things to do over the summer. I plan on hanging our list on the fridge and crossing things off as we go. In no particular order, here is our list of 40 Fun Things.
I love your list. I've been meaning to make a list of my own, but I gaven't gotten that far yet. I may steal a lot of your ideas. Also, don't veto the target shooting. My parents took us shooting from the time we were little and I have such great memories of those outings. We even drew our own targets with scented markers!
ReplyDeleteI love the list! My favorite is how you snuck weeding into the middle of it like a fun family outing. :)
ReplyDelete(Truth be told, I normally don't mind some mild weeding, but I'm positive Paddy wouldn't think of it as family fun time.)
