Keeping it Simple

I am sure my kids will not say this phrase once this summer...ha! So in preparation...we have brainstormed a list of 100 things we can choose from when we are bored...instead of another game of Minecraft. (I have traded my boys minute for minute of summer learning time for screen time...Day 1 a success so far...we will see how long this lasts.)  Hopefully I actually get this list printed and cut into strips for a jar of anti-boredom activities! Help - we are brain dead and need like four more items to complete our list... 100 Things to Do This Summer beach (Burfoot Park)   bowling - check out Kidsbowlfree.com - there is one in Olympia - Yeah!  blow bubbles  make lemonade  finger painting  water fight  make Popsicles  treasure hunt  swim birdwatching reading party dollar movie cookout  hike make ice cream visit farm sidewalk chalk origami bean bag toss badminton “drive-in movie”...

Summer is here...our first day and the boys are still sleeping! Yeah!  There are so many different activities offered and sometimes I have one of those summer days where I just need something to help entertain my little cherubs. I am sure this summer being pregnant, there might be a day or two that I need a little added entertainment while I just take a second to absorb it all!  (or just catch my breath...) Every summer, I try to take all the free and inexpensive activities that take place around the area and put them on a calendar. It just helps for those evenings when I have no plans the next day and want some. Hope this helps you as well! Looking forward to meeting up with many of you at some of these great afternoons or evenings! (Note: Tum - stands for Tumwater...Century Link is not the one in Seattle as my sweet hubby asked in a concerned voice....it is the movie theatre at the Olympia Mall.) Please let me know if there is something fun that I am missing.....
