summer

While summer is about a week away, we are experiencing what is known around here as "June gloom". The sky is overcast and dreary more often than not, and we are kept on our toes because it always looks like it could rain at any second. But will it? Usually the answer is no, but you never know.

With all this cloud cover and all the time I have spent indoors to avoid it, I have had a lot of time to think about what I'd like to do with my family this summer. Here's what I have in mind:

~ have a picnic

~ have a bonfire on the beach & make smores

~ fly a kite

~ hike the holy jim trail

~ go tide pooling

~ participate in our library's summer reading program

~ make shadow puppets

~ visit the arboretum at uci

~ go on a train ride

~ family bowling night (going out for pizza & ice cream included)

What are your plans for the summer? I would love to hear your ideas! And for my friends down under, what are you looking forward to doing this winter? Do tell.

We're hoping to go camping a few times this summer.
We'll definitely be in the library reading program too. Tidepooling is always a fun way to spend the day.
Hopefully we'll have some other fun surprises!

Ah what a brilliant summer list! Summer seems SO LONG away for me; but I would want to go for train rides, make shadow puppets, picnic and visit the beach for bonfires too. I cannot wait to see your posts on some of these!

Lovely post!

Like Miss Emily I am in the middle of winter also, so your list sounds so lovely and warm!
