Last summer was pretty laid back for us and before we knew it summer was over and we hadn't really accomplished anything. That got me to thinking about what I wanted us to do this year while the kids were on break.
Together, the kids and I, came up with a list of things we wanted to do to keep our summer fun and not have the bored word said.at.all.
As we complete our list I'm going to cross them off and a quick picture of us doing them!
I pray your summer will be as fun as ours!
