Our Family Summer Fun List

Last year I wanted to make a summer fun list, and while we did plenty of fun things, the list itself never actually got made.  This year, inspired by a friend who posted her family's list, I finally created ours.  There's plenty more we're doing this summer - orthodontist appointments, dentist appointments, speech and occupational therapy, a spine x-ray, and an overdue visit to the orthopedist (reminder...need to make that appointment).  I also have Ryan do "summer school" which consists of workbooks to keep up skills, educational games, and this summer we're doing science experiments.  We haven't got to our country research yet,  so that might have to wait until next summer.  Anyway, the list below is just the fun stuff - the stuff that creates memories.
