Happy official first day of Summer! I am a huge believer in lists. To-do lists, Done lists, bucket list, gimme all the lists. So naturally when a season as fun as summer has arrived I want to sit down and make a list of all the fun family things we want to make time for.
Joe and I sat on the deck one night with drinks in hand, of course, and made a short list of things we would love to fit in over the next few weeks so I figured I would share!
- Go to the Fair! We went last year with Harper but she was just a little too small to ride any of the rides. We’re hoping to get her on something this year!
- Raspberry + Blueberry picking at a local farm! I made my own raspberry jam last summer and it was AMAZING. Dying to try it again.
- Boardwalk night! We live about 30 minutes from the Jersey shore so a trip to the boardwalk, Mid-Way pizza, and deep friend Oreos is a MUST.
- Beach Day! Joe does not like the beach, but he loves his girls. So to the beach we will go!
- Fire Pit Night with S’mores + a summer playlist! Most likely with Harper in jammies and ice cold beers for Mum and Dad.
- Dinner Outside. We don’t eat dinner on the deck often at all so this will be a nice change.
- Minor League Baseball game! Cracker Jacks are not optional.
- Sunflower picking! I’ve never seen sunflower field but apparently there is one nearby so it’s a must this summer!
- LOTS of time spent outside. I’m thinking running through the sprinkler until were pruney, swimming, play dates at the splash pad, + long walks around the neighborhood.
- Weekly walks to the farmers market to get as much fresh fruit as we can carry.
- Friday Movie nights!
Extra points if you can guess which one was all Joe’s idea. #idontlovebaseball
Cheers to a summer well-spent!
