Summer Bucket List 2011

each year summer seems to fly by in the blink of an eye.

at the end of the summer the kids and i will say oh we should have done this or gone there.

we get caught up with life and don't always plan specific activities for our summer days.

this year i wanted to be more intentional about our summer

 so early in june we started a list on a piece of paper.

 our list kept growing and soon didn't fit on our piece of paper anymore

we moved our list to a big white board in our school room
