Our Summer To Do List

Now that school is officially out, I asked the kids what were some things they wanted to do this summer and they had some similar responses. Stella kept adding to her list so I condensed it a bit. Ted was pretty generic and getting Maizie to tell me was like pulling teeth.

Here are their lists: 

Stella

Go on a picnic

Go in everyone’s pool (she listed everyone she knew that had a pool)

Go to the beach

Go to a water park

Play with the hose

Play with the sprinkler

Go to the zoo

Go to the ice cream store

Use the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine

Stella pretty much wants to go everywhere that she sees on TV. She also listed every little thing she would do during the day (make lemonade, play Barbies, etc); I wanted specifics not your daily itinerary.

Teddy

Go to the beach

Go in the pool

Go to a gym

Go to the zoo

See fireworks

Get some ice cream

Go to the grocery store

Have sleepovers

Go to different playgrounds

Teddy was very general with the exception of the gym; he really wants to work out. I asked why he wanted to go to the grocery store, he said “Why not?”

Maizie

Go to the zoo

Swim in the pool

Go to the beach

See fireworks

Go on a picnic

Maizie doesn’t like to contribute much. She kept asking Stella what she should tell me.

My List

The beach is a given, I’m doing that anyway

Different zoos (besides Roger Williams)

Picking fruit (I really want to go blueberry picking)

Go to Boston Museum of Science (I haven’t been there in almost 20 years)

Take a family trip (we’ve never been on an overnight trip)

Go to the drive in

Go to the Yankee Candle factory

See fireworks

Take the kids to a baseball game

Go to Mystic Village

Go to many other day trip places that we probably won’t get to.

Every year I have big plans (in my head) for the summer, but we usually end up just going to the beach. Lets’ see if things can change this year.

Let the sunning begin!
