So, what are you doing to make it one worth remembering?
Every year, my kids and I go out for lunch on the last day of school and make a list of things to do. However, the school system keeps adding days, making summer start later. As such, I’m making my list before school is out. We’ll still go out to lunch and add to it, but I’m no rookie. I know what we need to put on that sucker.

First, a bit of business to lay out. We aren’t out to do everything. We just like having a list to go to in the event, the dreaded words are uttered, “Mom, I’m bored.” Summer is defined as starting this Friday and going through Labor Day, even if there’s school which these days, there always is. We celebrate all 102 days. Consequently, we need 102 ways to celebrate.

Here’s my summer list.
