101 inexpensive Things to do this Summer TOGETHER

Summer fun List-Part 1

Moms and daughters, moms and sons, dad and daughters, dads and sons, you and a neighbor.... you get the picture- Together, pick at least ten things off of this list that you will devote yourself to doing.  There are a little more than ten weeks in the summer break.  That means you can do about one item on the list per week.  If you choose to make cupcakes; make cupcakes TOGETHER!  I would love for you to add to this list sharing what you plan to do.  Or tell what you've done at http://kristiburden.com/?p=941 . My creativity has bounds.  Remember doing ten things togther will hold more meaning than doing 101 things on your own.  Happy memory making!!!

    Ok, here are a few of the things we are going to do this summer. Love your ideas.
    Go crabbing
    Make a paper mâché volcano that erupts( this will take a while)
    Have a RAK ( random acts of kindness) day - spend the day looking for RAK opportunities and do them
    Scavenger hunt

      I know a bunch of the suggestions are lame, but I was trying to reach 101, right? The main point is to be thinking and intentional about spending time together.  Still haven't quite got crabbing down, but I know we'd love it-  Like where, best time to do it... Glad you shared.  Share how it goes too.

      Scavenger hunt - maybe try that GeoCaching - Blaine enjoyed that the one time we got to do it.

        I guess we'll have to have you over for dinner again so you can explain.  I have no idea what GeoCaching is, but it sounds fun!
