I can’t decide if that is a good thing or a bad thing that school starts in 2 1/2 weeks for three of my kids. Part of me is so ready for more of a schedule and structure to our days and the other part is ready for time at the lake, backyard campfires, s’mores, swimming and sleeping past 5:30 a.m. With just a few more weeks left, I have added to our summer bucket list to soak in these slower days:
- playdates with friends
- playing at the beach
- a trip to the zoo
- checking out our favorite splash park
- hiking through local trails
- ice cream date at one of our favorite local ice cream shops
- Donuts at our local bakery
- backyard campfire (and maybe even backyard tent camping?!)
- fishing with Dad
- Back to school shopping
What are some of your favorite things to do before school begins again? Do you have a tradition you do with your kids the week before school begins? Leave them in the comments below, I would love to hear them!
