The Summer List

In past years our summer list has been a colorful thing, hung on our door and much-consulted.  We made a summer list this year...on a random scrap of paper.  We did manage to hang onto it all summer and occasionally cross things off, but our summer was a bit faster-paced and a bit fuller.  Bigger kids want to do more stuff during the summer, I guess.  Anyway...here's our list!

1. go to the Lazy Otter
2. go swimming
3. a bike ride outside of Whittier
4. hike Horsetail
5. hike Portage Pass
6. try 3 new hikes
7. camping
8. take a trip with friends
9. go dip netting
10. go fishing
11. go kayaking
12. go canoeing
13. go water skiing
14. meet new people
15. soccer
16. sports camp
17. family game night
18. visit the library
19. visit the doves
20. visit the quail
21. a picnic at Salmon Run
22. bonfire
23. have a back to school BBQ
24. celebrate the solstice
25. go tide pooling
26. visit the conservation center

Not too bad, if I do say so myself!  As much as I don't want to admit that summer is over I think I have to.  It has rained here for umpteen days straight and I have already baked two pumpkin coffeecakes.  It's fall, y'all!
