Summer Fun 2011

Since we are in a new city, and have so much exploring that we want to do, the girls and I decided to embark on a new self-created adventure titled "Summer Fun 2011." Russ will, of course, be joining in on the adventures and simple summer fun on the weekends. After brainstorming over pancakes, we came up with a pretty great list. The plan is to complete all 50 awesome activities, in no particular order, before the girls start pre-school at the end of August.

I started out by making this board that we can hang in the playroom, to remind us of all the fun we've got at our fingertips at home, in Charleston, Mount Pleasant, and the surrounding areas. The girls can check items off the list as we go.

The blogs to follow will be titled based on the activity we chose from the list. I plan to take lots of pictures so the girls will remember all the fun we had in the summer of 2011 when they were 4 1/2 and 2 1/2.
