Summer 2012 Bucket List

Here it is, folks!! Our Summer 2012 Bucket List.

I'm the type of person that needs a list, or nothing will get done. So, when I realized that Jack would be home for THREE WHOLE MONTHS this summer (slight panic!!) I knew that we needed to actually write down a list of creative, educational things to do, or the whole summer would get away from us.

I will try to take pictures throughout the summer as we complete projects/activities. No promises, though. I would just like to have it all on the blog so I can print it out later.

Please steal our ideas (since they are really other people's ideas to begin with). And if you're in the area, join us for some of our adventures!
