Summer Bucket List 2015!

Since the boys started going to public school I've tried really hard to make sure we have a fun filled summer. I know that if we don't plan something then we'll just sit around and do nothing and the summer days will pass us by. So in order to prevent that the kids help me to create our.....

Sounds like you have a fun summer planned! I need to start putting a list together for us too. I've kind of been in denial, but SUMMAH' IS COMMIN'!!! You'll have to let us know when you hit up Pioneer Park! That's OUR park : ) The new sprinkler park is pretty awesome! I mean I guess it's pretty average as far was sprinkler parks go, maybe I'm just more excited because it's 4 blocks from our house : ) We went THREE times last week, and even when it was crowded my kiddos still had a blast! I love the stream at Wildwood too...my kids love exploring there! And we LOVE the wave pool at Kandle park! That's a frequent place for us, as Corbin's sister lives right across the street...Corbin's mom usually pays for us to go a few times...otherwise there's no way we'd be abel to afford it! It's super fun though!
