Summer Bucket List {Play Learn Make Go }

Summer is just about to arrive at our house and we are so excited to begin our summer fun!  We spent some time making plans for what we want to do this summer with our kids.  We found that we had 4 four main groups for Summer Fun. 

Here they are... 

• Play
• Learn
• Make
• Go

So with the groups Play, Learn, Make and Go we started to brainstorm.  My 5 year old sat down with Mommy and Daddy and created our own Summer Bucket list of things we want to do together.  I'm sure little sister will enjoy her big sister's ideas too.  I can tell that after a year in Kindergarten she's ready for some adventures with Mommy and Daddy.  Here's our Summer Bucket list for 2012!
