I’m seeing a lot of Summer Bucket List and Summer Activity lists floating around lately. For most of us Moms, this summer isn’t our first rodeo and while we’re all looking forward to the lack of homework and scheduling, we know what’s also coming with the summer weeks ahead. I’m booorrrrrred will definitely come out of my boys mouths many times this summer.
We’ve planned some activities for sure – I have a few camps thrown in here and there and a couple of road trips but we also have some blissfully unscheduled weekdays ahead of us and I want to be prepared for the inevitable boredom whining and overuse of electronics.
Thanks to Pinterest, Facebook and my head, I’ve compiled a list of a ton of different activities into a list I can pull out when the going gets tough.
