Summer Time Bucket List

The kids and I sat down two weeks ago and we made an end of summer bucket list together.  I explained to them that we might not get to everything on the list, but we would certainly give it a try.  At first the bucket list read more like an adventure from a curious george book...ride in a rocket, join the circus... but then once they caught the hang of it it went something more like this.

• Bowling 
• Water Park
• Spray park
• Picnic at a playground
• Frying Pan Farm wagon ride
• Slumber party
• Mini-golf

Most of the ideas came from the coupon book that Little Man earned by completing his summer library reading program - although we couldn't actually use any of the coupons so thanks for a lot of nothing... but Little Man thinks we used his coupons and that is what really matters.  We have actually completed everything on the list except for the mini-golf, but we might try to fit that in tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures that I managed to capture since most of these events took place while Papa Bear was at work, I was short a few hands to help take pictures.  The water park was the most stressful because the kids loved the wave pool but I couldn't keep eyes on all of the kids at one time and there were a few kids pulled out by the lifeguards in the time we were there.
