Big Plans for the Summer

This summer I am stealing an idea from one of the mom's in our China family!  Erin (AKA Grace, Grant and Trent's mom) has a list of 100 things to do in the summer.  Last year they did it and I thought it was a great idea so I got the kids on board this year!  While we wont be doing some things like they did, sleeping in a teepee!  We have a few fun plans of our own this year.  Of course a lot of the ideas came from things I knew we would be doing this summer!

We decided to cheat a little and get started early!

We made a garden...

Painted a birdhouse...

Made finger puppets...

Make Smores...

I had big plans to also knock out the zoo, ride a camel and feed a giraffe but I found out it is not smart to go the the zoo on opening day of the Africa exhibit!  We did get to see the animals and Betty White but that was about it!  I let the kids skip school being the cool mother I am but obviously I was not the only one doing that!  Never again!  

School is over in 2 days and then the real fun begins!  The kids are so excited to get our whole list done.
