Does your family have some fun things planned for the summer? I'd love to hear about them!
Your family is so creative! Those ideas sounds wonderful! It's funny, because I was going to post our "weekly to-do list" tomorrow. (: Thanks for sharing, and maybe you'll see a similar list on our blog sometime soon.

Love the list! You'll have to try Casa Manila when you come to TO. It is midtown at Don Mills & York Mills Rds.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're going to be super busy but doing lots of fun and relaxing things! I never get thru everything on my list of things to do during summer. The time just seems to slip by. Is your weather still bad up there? I just heard that we only had 3 days of sun during the whole month of June. Now that is depressing!!! I think I'm going to go crazy!!
ReplyDeleteRenee, we finally had some sun, but today is cloudy and cool again :o(. I think it's just going to be one of those summers again. We seem to have them more often the past few years. Booooo!
ReplyDeleteYour summer list sounds so inviting...let's see...my favorites...s'mores around the fire, ice cream at the lovely bridge, midnight run to Tim's for donuts....yikes, they all involve food! Oh, well, that's me...I love good food!
ReplyDeleteOh, and btw, we are triple digits or close to every day..so, think about us on those cloudy, cool days!
Hugs to all

Love your summer list! And a great idea :D
ReplyDeleteWe're keeping our summer pretty low key to save for some special plans later in the year, but it would be good to make a list of low-budget ideas the kids enjoy.
Thanks for the tip :D

Great idea to make up a summer's to do list. I think I might just copy your idea, I hope to take some more time and do fun things with the chidlren this summer. It is so easy to focus on all the work and forget to take time to do fun things. :)
ReplyDeleteWe haven't really made plans with the exception of visiting a sea turtle hospital. Injured sea turtles go through rehab (and surgery if necessary) there and are released back into the ocean if possible. My oldest is going to archery day camp for a couple of weeks, so my youngest and I will have fun visiting some thrift stores and a library branch we haven't been to in a long time. Today I surprised the boys by stopping by a lunch buffet they love. Family movie nights are usually on Fridays, but during the summer any night is fair game (just had one last night complete with homemade popcorn). We've been to a couple of matinee movies (to take advantage of the cheaper admission). We have a dollar theater nearby we might take advantage of depending on what's playing. They get movies immediately after they stop showing at the regular theaters. The boys and hubby have built a new birdhouse. Oh, we have a planetarium nearby that shows IMAX movies ... I'll be checking into that as well. Sounds like you have lots of fun and exciting family times coming up!
