Our list included many of the same things from last year : eating breakfast outside, eating dinner outside, having a picnic, go to the pool, have a lemonade stand, blueberry picking, camping, go out for ice cream, see fireworks, go to the beach, go for a hike with the dog. It also included a few new items : go for a family bike ride and (for the love of all that is holy) get Griffin to ride a bike without training wheels.
Today, we crossed a hike with our pup off the list. We have a set of trails right down the street from our house that the boys just love. There is nothing like a walk through the woods to make you stop and appreciate the beauty of summer. The boys ran through the trails. We skipped rocks in streams. We picked pussywillows and kept a keen eye out for snakes. (Snakes! Ick!) It was a perfect celebration of summer.
