Not quite sure why looking at the calendar that this week kicks off summer in my head. Maybe because our new summer schedule of day camp and summer school section I'm teaching kicks off tomorrow. Maybe because we've been on the road and now home focusing on the summer move. Or maybe it's because it was the first weekend we spent a majority of time at the pool?
Four years ago when I started this blog is was to post an insane list of items to finish off with my then one year old. Since then the summer list focus was on family fun. This year between the house moves we are full on in summer mode.

Great list! I'm thinking of doing something similar on my blog - one for just DC places to visit; then other "worldly" goals :)
I especially like #1 - I've always wanted to stay in a beach house!! I'm afraid I'd fail completely at #21 :)
We can help with #7. I've got a spiderman fishing pole Ben can use to catch a fish off our dock!
Ben got a fishing pole for his birthday, but I would love to use yours when we come to visit in July.
Oooh, I think I'll add #30 to our list. And number 17, too! Hope all the moving planning and organizing is going well. Can't wait to see you settled in your new house!
