Summer always seems to go by so fast! It is my favorite time of year, and we never seem to get to all the fun things I want to do. There are just so many ways to play and have fun in the warm weather! Perhaps having a collection of fabulous play ideas at hand will help us cram as much into our days as possible!
Summer Bucket List
I have scoured my favorite children's sites, and collected 150 Summer activities that we have either done and loved, or that we have seen on favorite sites and want to do before Summer's end. Let's make this the BEST Summer yet!
