Summer 2012 Update

Dear Colt & Jax,

With *only* 8 weeks left of summer vacation, let's see how our list is coming along:

*Make smoothies

*Play a game with a grandparent

*See a movie in the theater

          (We've only been teased with previews for "Brave" since about February!)

*Fly on an airplane

          (Look for this one in the next post or two!)

*Play at a splash park

          (Kind of here - but not the splash park I had in mind.)

*Build a sandcastle

          (Look for this one in the next post or two!)

*Swim in at least 3 different pools

          (So far:  Lantana Country Club, The Vaughn's Neighborhood Pool, The Lake's plastic pool, The Lewisville Community Pool, and our very own)

*Visit the zoo

          (Here with plans to go again soon!)

*Go to a museum

*Play at The Ark

          (We had a playdate there on Monday, June 11th - but no photos were taken.)

*Watch a parade

*Ride a rollercoaster

*See the ocean

          (Look for this one in the next post or two!)

*Throw water balloons

*Make homemade ice cream

*Hug a great-grandparent

          (Look for this one in the next post or two!)

*Check out books from the library

          (Here and we'll go again to return them and check out more!)

*Watch a baseball game

          (We've watched bits and pieces on tv but the real deal is coming soon!)

*Fly a kite

*Create a painting

*Play at Paradise Pond

*Empty our game card at Going Bonkers

          (This might be the trickiest of them all as I *might* have misplaced that card!)

*Family Game Night

*Visit the dentist

*“R.C. car race”

*Practice handwriting

*Attend Vacation Bible School

          (Sooner than soon!)

*Donate toys

*Play at at least 4 new parks

          (Done!  And my i-Phone captured only a few of the memories as they were always on the spur-of-the-moment.)

 (First time on the big kid swing!)

*Take a road trip

          (The OKC trip is said and done and we'll head to San Antonio at the summer's end.)

We're getting there!
