Summer Bucket List

I love lists.  The first step is admitting it, right?  And I love my babies, and I love summertime, and I love making a plan to be intentional in the summer.  So a Summer Bucket List just pretty much makes me happy.  I am finally posting ours!  We created it on June 1--almost a month ago.  The shortest summer ever waits for no one, so it is time to get busy!

1.  READ
2.  LEARN (The boys are already 5 steps ahead in the goals I had set for them in this area.  Their little brains are amazing right now!)
3.  Catch lightning bugs
4.  Build a sand castle
5.  Go to a baseball game
6.  Watch fireworks
7.  BBQ with friends
8.  Go to Chuck E. Cheese
9.  Go to a movie
10.  Go to Greene Street Market in Huntsville--it was AMAZING--this should now say "go BACK!"
11.  Point Mallard
12.  Hartselle pool
13.  Look for shells
14.  Hunt crabs--this one was amazingly easy this year due to some kind people who had gotten in the water by the rocks, found hermit crabs, put them in a bucket, and shared them with my curious kiddos.  People from North Alabama simply do NOT get into water around big rocks.
15.  Play putt-putt--this one gets half of a cross-off due to only completing 9 holes with two little boys at the beach.  Do-over for the (highly competitive) girly is due, perhaps?  And oh yeah--if you see Zeke or Kinley, ask them who hit the hole-in-one on the hardest hole we played! Hint--it wasn't either of them...just call me Tiger.
16.  Bonfire with K's friends
17.  Backyard movie night
18.  Go to a museum
19.  Go to a concert
20.  Paint/art day
21.  LOVE--MUST. LOVE. PEOPLE.

Obviously there are a few that we *had* to do while we were at the beach, but there is a lot left to pack in to our July.  Bring on the fun!
