Have we had enough summer fun yet?

School starts on August 24th.
That really means I go back the week before (or sooner if I can get in the building).

I'm not sure I'm ready to have summer be over.

Yes, it is HOT and that part I won't miss, but not the kind of lazy, relaxing fun that only comes with carefree days and "hanging out" with friends and family.

I always create a big list of summer work projects
and sometimes I get some of the things done,
but more often than not the list just carries over.
(Will it really matter if the shed doesn't get cleaned right now?)

Anyway, I decided to make a new list of things I WANT to do.
Some of these things I have already accomplished (♥). Yeah!

My FUN Summer To Do List:

Sleep in.
♥Take a short road trip or vacation.
♥Sip icy lemonade
♥Go on a picnic.
♥Go to a Parade of Homes.
Go camping with my family. (It's planned!)
Build a fire in the back yard fire pit. (Maybe the skunk interfered!)
♥Eat fresh fruit and pick raspberries.
♥Play in the dirt (garden).
♥Run through the sprinklers.
♥Visit with old friends (Yes, I did go to my class reunion!)
♥Lie in the grass and hunt for cloud pictures.
♥Go on pretty hikes.
♥Read a novel.
♥Go to a parade (even if it is mostly tractors and horses).
♥Go to a fireworks show.
♥Have a barbecue.
Fly a kite.
Go swimming.
Attend a family reunion. (Soon.)
♥Play with my granddaughter.
♥Have a son's wedding and get a cute new daughter-in-law.

I guess my summer has been better than I thought!
The next few weeks will be busy if I get all my playing done.

I'll end with a picture of Maddie having a great summer on the beach in Oregon.


I hope you are having a fun summer, too!
