Summer Bucket List 2016




This past weekend was the unofficial start to summer, but up here in the north, we still have 3 weeks of school left.  So although I may be a little late with this post, I think I'm still in the realm of acceptable!

So, without further ado,


LIFE AS I KNOW IT 2016 SUMMER BUCKET LIST

1.  Take a week long beach vacation
It's booked!  This year we are trying out Cape May.

2.  Have friends over for dinner and drinks on the deck
I make excellent kabobs and pasta salad!  Want to come over?

3.  Make S'mores in our fire pit
OK, first we have to purchase and then put together said firepit.  But once it's good to go, I want to make S'mores!

4.  Take the kids to the Drive In Theatre
 
Maybe see The Secret Life of Pets?

5.  Visit a couple state parks
Swimming and picnics please!

6.  Take a day trip to a water park
 
Enchanted Forest?  Zoom Flume?

7.  Pool day at mom's house once a month  
Hopefully more than once a month, but it's an hour and a half drive, so we'll see...

8.  Go to a concert (not sure which concert yet)

9.  Hit another Red Sox/Yankees game


10.  Impromptu weekend getaway with the hubby
(any ideas??)

11.  Continue reading!
 
My goal is 6 new books this summer

12.  Ice cream dates with the kiddos
One of the best things about summer is soft ice cream at our favorite ice cream spot!

I think it's a pretty do-able list.  And although I do hate the heat (um, why is it already 85-90 degrees in NY??) I do love the longer days, getting outside, and the relaxed pace of summer. 
What's on your summer bucket list?

  7. I love ice cream dates with the kiddos! I try to do it once a week in the summer. They love it (and Mommy does too, although not necessarily my waistline... oh well!).
