We have a big summer bucket list calendar on the wall in the mudroom. I originally got it to keep up with all the things. Between summer plans and daycare special events that require money or things like bikes/swimsuits/nerf guns….I wanted to stay on top of the schedule.

But surrounding the calendar is a big checklist of fun activities. While it’s not exactly our guiding list, we are loving when she has nothing to do and she can check the list for ideas.

Not on the list was the Greenwood rodeo….but we weren’t going to miss it. Remi loves a rodeo! She dressed herself, and I loved her wearing her unicorn headband.

Gigi rides horses, so this is sort of their thing. I love to see how her grandmas love her.

One bucket list activity was playing in the sprinkler. Well……we don’t have a sprinkler, but we did have this little splash sprinkler. She enjoyed playing in it one afternoon!

Remi has gotten lots of extra home playtime since it’s so hot outside. She’s been into medical stuff for a LONG time- ouchies, blood, cuts, broken bones….she is so curious and plays doctor/broken leg with her dolls, barbies, stuffed animals…and she’s started giving herself a “cast” with tissues and painter’s tape. I love her imagination!

Another bucket list item was eating watermelon. Well, we don’t do anything small. This kid had to set up a watermelon festival! She drew, cut out and strung melons and we taped them up outside (along with my flip flop banner). We got my watermelon plate holder and had our snack. I hope she always sees the ways to make everyday extraordinary!

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer holds!
