This summer, instead of going on a trip, which frankly who can afford these days with a family of 5?  I thought we would try to be a little more creative and explore more of our own city. So we are writing our summer bucket list this week.  School ends Friday June 29th, so that means the list can start that afternoon!

The plan with the blog is to get other families to join in and do things in their own cities and have fun with their kids this summer.  We will try to post pictures and little write ups as we cross things off the list.  I will get the list up on here as soon as we write it.
