Summer Bucket List

Happy Memorial Day! Today is a day to remember all those that served our country to give us our freedoms.  It is because of them and God's blessings that America is the great country that she is. 

Today is also the unofficial beginning of summer! Just like last year, we're not taking a break from school (you never really stop learning), but we will be slowing down a bit. We'll be cutting back on the work aspect, and upping the fun! Of course, we'll continue with our crafts, cooking, and experiments, too. 

Here is our summer bucket list or list of fun things we want to do. The list is in no particular order. Trust me, I wanted to alphabetize it and I wanted to make each entry start with a verb so the list was consistent. Leighton insisted neither was necessary. I'm trying not to be so picky, but for the record, it's driving me bonkers! I guess I should add that to the list. {snicker}
