I don’t know about you, but I love summer. Even Oklahoma summers with their scorching temps and no relief in sight.
Summer is for making memories. It’s for sticky snow cones and the smell of sunscreen.
Summer is for playing outside until the sky turns black and crickets chirp.

I may just have to do a few of these this summer. My 22 yr old son is always up for fun and he is still a child at heart and would so be willing take chalk and draw all over the sidewalks with me. #25 is one of my favorites lately . . . I LOVE going for walks. My hope for the summer is to take a day trip to Michigan and hang out at the beach. Thank you for sharing this great list with TWW, Jennifer.
Beth – I REALLY want to go to the beach this summer, but Jackson just isn’t ready for that. Sometimes I get so excited to do things with him and forget he’s only two! 🙂 I hope you make a lot of fun memories this summer!
I love that bucket list. It sounds like tons of fun. I want to spend the summer with you and your family, ha ha. We are doing some travel this summer to see our daughter. I’m counting the days. Stopping in from Three Word Wednesday
Kim – I’m not sure we will mark all of these off the list, but we will sure try! I hope you have a great trip to visit your daughter! Happy Summer!!!!
I love summer and your list certainly celebrates summer. I’ve loved seeing the pictures of Jackson enjoying summer.
Summer is the perfect season for Jackson. If there is water, he is going to be in it! I see a lot of great memories being made this summer 🙂
Did Magic House and Grants Farm last week while visiting family. Both were a blast! Hope you get to fulfill all those wishes!
Coming to you from Coffe for Your Heart. All so good! My absolute all time favorite? Silly String war. Well done Momma!
Thank you so much for linking up with Coffee for Your Heart! I’m so grateful for your words. XO
