Our Summer Fun list

On several other blogs moms have been posting their summer list of things they want to do over the summer. Things to cure the, "I'm bored!" I don't know that we will accomplish everything on our list, but I took a few from some lists I saw that I liked and I added some local attractions to ours. If any of you local moms want to join us, please let me know! You are more than welcome and we'd love the company! I plan on coming back to this post and editing the list when we have things we can cross off. We may not do everything I listed, but it will be fun to try!

• "Here's a fun craft. Buy inexpensive flip-flops and dress them up with fabric pieces. You start at one end and work your way to the middle, then do the other side. You take a piece of fabric about 7 inches long and 1 inch wide, fold it in half, wrap it around the strap, double tie it, and there you are! You try to get them as close together as you can. My daughter loves doing this. It's easy, fun, time-consuming, and really makes a cute pair of flip-flops in any color you'd like. Great birthday party idea, too." -taken from an unpink life
