Our Plans for the Summer

As a kid I always had the best summers. (THANKS MOM!) My mom would take us everywhere and do everything with us. I want Charlie to think summers are the best just like I used to think they were when I was little. I came along this article titled Savor the Last Drops of Summer in a magazine I was reading and found a list all the things I LOVED to do as a kid in it. So this summer (and every summer) I will be trying to accomplish as many as I can.

So here it is...All the things I plan to do with Charlie this summer:

Be one with nature
Get lost in an adventure

Hold my breath under water and smile

Build a sand castle

Learn to do a cartwheel

Pick wild flowers

Do the hula

Pet a caterpillar

Go on a scavenger hunt

Build something

Eat ice cream sandwiches

Float away

Catch a sunset

Swing the day away

Watch the waves roll in

Take the plunge

Connect with a creature

Taste something sweet

Feel the sand in your toes

Make like a bird

Visit the seashore

Sleep in a tent

Listen for the ocean in a seashell

Have a picnic
