I found this on another blog and I’m glad I did! First of all, I love making lists period (have I mentioned this before?). So making a specific summer fun bucket list is something I’d naturally gravitate towards and one I haven’t done before. I’m going to try to make sure that my list includes both family fun activities and some mommy fun stuff too. Still a work in progress obviously, but wanted to post the first few things that came to mind.
- Have baby #2 and recover
- Make sure little O still feels loved, secure and hopefully not too jealous of the new baby
- New Jersey State Fair – we miss this every year! And it’s usually in Secaucus which is one stop from Penn Station. Even though O is probably still too short for any of the rides and my prego belly is going to keep me off the fun rides, there’s usually still a petting zoo, fun demonstrations, carny food, etc.
- Make initial pancakes (and decorate with whipped cream)
- Central Park Zoo – ashamed to admit we still haven’t been here
- Make fruit popsicles
- Bronx Zoo again – we’ve been to this one but didn’t make it through the whole thing cause this zoo is Huge! Maybe an elephant or camel ride too?
- Use the new sand and water table that O got for her birthday from her Auntie & Uncle
- Paint with O using the Glob paint kit I just got (probably after newspapering the entire kitchen)
- Finally try that Turkish restaurant near our house
- Make room for another family member? (no, not #2 – he’s already got space)
- Catch fireflies
- Go to the beach (more than once!)
- Stay up late to watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July
- Attend storytime at the local library
- Ride our bikes with toddler trailer (at least until hubby refuses to let me ride anymore due to the unfortunate combination of clumsiness + prego belly)
- Make homemade ice cream (decaf coffee choc chip for mommy!)
