Summer Goals

We love Summer! So we're sure not to miss out on anything this sunny season has to offer, here's what I want to be sure to do...

1. Take walks with the boys at least three times a week.
2. Go play at the beach and build sandcastles with my kids.
3. Wear flip-flops (me) and Crocs (boys) every day so I don't have to wash a single pair of socks all summer.
4. Decide to delight in worms, bugs and dirty outdoor messes instead of just thinking, "This is going to be a huge pain to clean up!"
5. Visit some cool new parks.
6. Eat dinner outside as a family as often as we can.
7. Support local farms by shopping for my produce at the Farmer's Market in my city.
8. Walk the boardwalk down at the beach (which is 7 minutes from our house and we've NEVER done since living here...can you believe that?!).
9. Allow no one in my family to get sunburned.
10. Enroll the big boys in swimming lessons.
11. Eat Suz's famous Texas Caviar while sitting on the Party Boat at Cushman in hot weather while watching my husband and brothers jump from dangerously high rope swings into freezing cold lake water. (A.k.a. "my perfect Saturday").
12. Watch my baby boy start walking.
13. Take advantage of a more laid-back YL schedule (which means WAY more evenings free) and go on dates with my husband.
14. Read at least 2 books.
15. Take the boys to the Seattle Aquarium once.
16. Go the the zoo a lot.
17. Attend "Day out With Thomas" in July. (This is where the real Thomas train comes to Snoqualmie and you can take a train ride on him and do all sorts of special Thomas-related activities. It's super fun for train lovers!)

We'll keep you updated as we check off the list over the next couple of months!
