School is bustling with end of year activities, the fireflies are glowing, and evening thunderstorms are popping up – it’s summer time! The next week represents a big swing of childhood development for our family. On Sunday our older daughter heads to Camp Seafarer for overnight summer camp for five nights. And, next Tuesday our younger daughter completes Kindergarten. While I’m thrilled about their growth and hunger for independence, I’ll be holding onto them (literally) while listening to “It Won’t Be Like This For Long” over the next few days. After I recover from those big events you can find me poolside with my magazine and adult beverage (ha!).
As with past summers, we’re excited about our upcoming summer travels. But, whether we’re on the road or at home this summer, we’re looking forward to making new memories. Here’s our kiddo-collaborative summer bucket list for 2019:
